LHSS Nigeria recently held a global knowledge strategy workshop in Abuja. The primary goal of the workshop was to evaluate and identify areas for improving health system performance influenced by LHSS initiatives. Participants collaborated in thematic groups, focusing on key performance determinants and sharing valuable lessons learned. This collaborative effort aimed to enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of health system interventions in Nigeria.

The Forum of CEOs of State Social Health Insurance Agencies in Nigeria, supported by LHSS, trained 14 newly appointed SSHIA CEOs from various states. Experienced CEOs and health experts shared insights on managing health insurance ecosystems, advancing Universal Health Coverage (UHC), leveraging ICT, and stakeholder management. The sessions, particularly beneficial for those without a health insurance background, aim to foster cross-learning and support Nigeria's goal of achieving UHC by 2030.
