It was only with the work of Gerhard Gentzen in the early 1930s (see Gentzen 1934 , 1935 that researchers in foundations were equipped with formal calculi of deduction that could do real justice to the actual structure of inferential dependencies within mathematical proofs.
However, where revenues from individual annual-premium-payments, monthly deductions from formal sector workers, and NHIA share from the value added taxation (VAT) are not enough to support the scheme, stakeholders should devise innovative ways of funding.
