Last week, we discussed about :Are Diets The Key To Weight Loss?
It made quite an interesting discuss as people shared a lot even mixed with personal experiences. We appreciate the contributions of the following persons who dropped their meaningful opinions most of which spoke from their personal experiences  
@Ivan78, @perkyeunice, @yungcheif, @kaizerdr, @drqamranbashir, @mosunomotunde

#### On the Topic of this Week... 
First let's define what a Health Management Organization is especially for some who do not know or are not familiar with it. It is a medical insurance group that provides health care and medical services to its clients for a fixed annual fee. 

No doubts, HMOs have become a strong force in the health system generally,  although their Modus Operandi differs in different countries all over the world. Majorly, employees from various companies, banks and firms are benefactors of their services also, private individuals or families can also be a part. 

To some, HMOs have been a blessing in the way they carry out various responsibilities such as consultation, drug and medicine prescription, minor surgeries, laboratory and xray facilities while to some others, it is just a way of extorting money from individuals who most times can't help but pay via their company policies and still get substandard treatments. 

Let's hear from you all your opinions, experiences, how such systems can be greatly improved upon and what you think generally  about HMOs. 

***

#### We are expecting your candid opinions on this topic!

This is a very helpful post.. 
I've once worked in an HMO in my country, Nigeria,and I can beat my chest to testify of its importance to every individual. 
But the most beautiful aspect of it is that it goes a long way to educate and enlighten various individuals in different local government in my country on health matters and that has really prooved helpful to a large extent.
And lastly, it has also helped me as a person who works with them. .

I didn't know much about HMOs but I think this kind of offer or health services is good and important to the community. 
There are a lot of people who are in need of medical attention but because they do not have cash in hand at immediate time, it may go worse and some may even loose their lives as a result. 
But this kind of health services in which the individual gets appropriate treatment in time, though the money will be paid through insurance company but the fact that the attention is giving to the person and the necessary steps is been taken, I can say that their services is really good 
Thanks for sharing @air-clinic

I think that these HMOs serve as health insurance since you pay a fixed fee yearly.

It's really helpful
