ESAUHC is a government initiative aimed at providing affordable and accessible healthcare services to all residents of Enugu State, ensuring everyone has access to quality health care without financial hardship.
The scheme is open to all residents of Enugu State, including children, adults, elderly persons, and vulnerable groups, regardless of their income level or employment status.
Interested residents can register at designated health facilities, local government offices, or through the official ESUHCS registration centers. Required documents typically include identification and proof of residence.
The scheme covers a wide range of health services including outpatient care, maternal and child health services, immunizations, laboratory tests, and some inpatient treatments, depending on the scheme’s current package.
Enrollment is often free or subsidized, and many basic health services are provided at little or no cost to beneficiaries. However, some specialized services or medications might require co-payments or additional fees.
By pooling resources and providing comprehensive health coverage, ESAUHC reduces out-of-pocket expenses, encourages preventive care, and ensures that quality healthcare is accessible to all residents, thereby improving overall health outcomes.
