Myitura Launches Women-focused Healthcare Financing Solutions to Bridge

Access Gap in Nigeria

In commemoration of Women’s Month, health-tech platform Myitura has released a new white paper addressing the critical gaps in healthcare financing for women in Nigeria.

Titled: ‘Closing the Gap: Healthcare Financing for Women in Nigeria’, the report highlights how high out-of-pocket costs, limited insurance coverage, and socio- economic factors continue to prevent women from accessing timely healthcare.

According to the report, over 70 per cent of healthcare expenses in Nigeria are paid out-of-pocket, disproportionately affecting women who often delay care due to financial and social constraints.

MyItura’s Chief of Staff, Chialuka Kelechi, said: “When women can afford to take care of their health early, we don’t just save lives; we strengthen families, communities, and the economy.”

Key insights from the white paper include: Preventable conditions often escalate due to delayed care; Women are more likely to deprioritize their own health; and Affordable, structured healthcare financing can significantly improve outcomes.

As part of its commitment, Myitura is launching affordable women-focused health packages (powered by Mediloan), starting at ₦58,180, designed to encourage preventive care and early detection.

The package provides access to: Fasting/Random Blood Sugar; Urinalysis; Electrolytes; Urea; Creatinine; Pap Smear Submitted slides; HIV I & II Rapid (Qualitative); Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Screening (Rapid); Hepatitis C Virus Screening (Rapid); Abdominopelvic Ultrasound; and Ongoing support via the Myitura platform.

Women can access these packages by downloading the Myitura app, which makes healthcare more accessible and convenient.
