The NHI Secretariat and the Government of The Bahamas is pleased with the recent statements made by Emmanuel Komolafe, Chairman of The Bahamas Insurance Association (BIA) with regard to their willingness to compromise on their stance on the administration of National Health Insurance Bahamas.
 
The Secretariat has always had an open door policy when it comes to stakeholder engagement and has already engaged in discussions to meet with the BIA as early as next week. As Mr. Komolafe stated, we all support universal health care. It is through this shared goal that will enable the Government and the BIA to work together for the good of all Bahamians.

The private insurance industry is vital to the rollout and successful implementation of NHI Bahamas, and the NHI Secretariat welcomes frequent and constructive discussions with the BIA going forward.
