Some entertainers have expressed joy over the much-publicised Entertainment Industry Health Insurance Convention which is put together by Nigerian Entertainment Industry Lecture Series (NEILS) in partnership with National Health Insurance Scheme, Lagos State Ministry of Health and the Nigeria Medical Association.
Scheduled to hold on July 22 in Lagos at the Grand Ball Room of Eko Hotel & Suites, organisers say the convention will highlight advantages of health insurance and why all entertainers must insure their health at the event.
“It will encourage the practitioners of the entertainment industry to insure their health and plan for the unforeseen, it will put an end to the highly degrading means of begging for alms whenever any practitioner of the industry is down with an ailment and at the end of this conference, practitioners will put more premium values on their health and understand perfectly the importance of health insurance. Also, there will be timely intervention to save the life of any practitioner in the entertainment industry who falls sick. In the past, the industry has lost some of its finest entertainers because it took too long to raise the required funds from the public, friends and fans.”
