Abstract: Abstract Challenges encountered in offsetting medical bills propelled the establishment of National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) to cater for the formal sector and Community Based Health Insurance Scheme (CBHIS) to focus on the poor and, vulnerable people were to ensure equal and affordable accessibility to healthcare services. After years of implementation, questions remained about the effectiveness and viability of the scheme. To answer the questions, the study, using primary and secondary data, examined the effectiveness of the scheme, its state-local collaboration implication, and the implementation strategies of CBHIS. The study found that non-involvement of local government officials negatively affected the scheme.
