Nadeem Esmail, Director, Health System Performance Studies made the following presentation at the Bahamas Chamber of Commerce on March 21, 2007.

Esmail states:

Beware the Pitfalls of Ill Conceived Policy

This discussion is not intended to dissuade Bahamians from implementing an NHI program. Rather, it is intended to inform their decisions about NHI and assist them in ensuring that the program which is ultimately implemented is one that works both for citizens today and for the nation tomorrow.
