Seyi Makinde's Health Insurance Scheme for the Elderly: Promise Partially Fulfilled Through Existing Framework

Seyi Makinde's Health Insurance Scheme for the Elderly: Promise Partially Fulfilled Through Existing Framework

Governor Seyi Makinde's campaign promise to establish a Health Insurance Scheme for the Elderly during his first term (May 2019-May 2023) was not executed as a standalone new program, but rather integrated into the existing Oyo State Health Insurance Agency (OYSHIA) framework established by his predecessor.   By the end of his first term, there was no dedicated "Health Insurance Scheme for the Elderly" branded as such. Instead, elderly citizens and retirees were enrolled into the broader community-based health insurance scheme operated through OYSHIA.  By March 2023, as his first term was concluding, pensioners and senior citizens acknowledged receiving medical support through OYSHIA, though this represented an extension of an existing system rather than fulfillment of the promised standalone scheme.  Governor Makinde's healthcare strategy prioritized community-based health insurance enrollment across all demographics rather than creating age-specific programs.   While the administration's commitment to elderly welfare through OYSHIA enrollment was evident, the promise of a dedicated health insurance scheme for the elderly, implying a distinct, separate initiative, remained unfulfilled in substance during the first term.  The promise was absorbed into a broader inclusive health insurance approach rather than delivered as a distinct elderly-focused program.
