How we came To Be
AkSHIA came into existence in 2021. A law was passed which established a mandatory health insurance scheme which was amended in January 2021 through an Executive bill sent to the Akwa Ibom State House Of Assembly which received accelerated hearing and passage as Akwa Ibom State Law No 2, 2021; the Akwa Ibom State Health Insurance Scheme, which will employ a single pool at the state level and provide coverage to all residents of the state.
The process of creating the Akwa Ibom State Health Insurance Agency (AKSHIA) emanated from the proposal of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) to give the State Governments power to create an organization that will manage the States Social Health Insurance Program to facilitate the achievement of Universal Health Coverage in the participating states.
