Chapter One: Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study
Community-Based Health Insurance (CBHI) schemes are essential in improving access to healthcare for underserved populations, particularly in developing countries. In Gombe LGA, Gombe State, CBHI initiatives aim to provide affordable healthcare services to low-income communities. However, the success of these schemes often depends on effective communication and stakeholder engagement, where Public Relations (PR) plays a pivotal role.

PR strategies, such as awareness campaigns, community engagement, and media advocacy, enhance public understanding, build trust, and encourage enrollment in CBHI schemes. Research highlights that PR can address misconceptions, foster community ownership, and improve the sustainability of health insurance programs (Yahaya & Samuel, 2023). This study explores the role of PR in enhancing CBHI schemes in Gombe LGA, focusing on strategies to improve participation and trust.

1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential benefits of CBHI schemes in Gombe LGA, enrollment rates remain low due to poor awareness, mistrust, and limited community engagement. PR offers tools to address these challenges, but its application in promoting CBHI schemes is not well-documented. This study investigates how PR can be effectively utilized to enhance CBHI programs in Gombe LGA.

1.3 Objectives of the Study

1.6 Significance of the Study
This study provides insights into the role of PR in enhancing CBHI schemes, offering practical recommendations for policymakers, health practitioners, and PR professionals. By focusing on Gombe LGA, it highlights localized strategies for improving healthcare access and sustainability.
