The Kwabre District National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), as part of its membership drive, has embarked on the engagement of stakeholders at Adumanafo to increase its number of clients.
Mr. Edward Frimpong, District Manager, educated the public on the importance of being enrolled onto the scheme, saying there was the need for every citizen in the country, above three months, to enroll onto the scheme to access affordable and effective healthcare.
The theme for the programme was “Sustaining the NHIS; Your role as a Member.”
The Manager reminded the public on their responsibilities to renew their membership before it expires.
He said members who failed to renew their membership for three months and beyond the date of expiry would have it deactivated in the NHIA membership database.
He further said members who failed to renew after three months of expiry would be required to wait for one month after renewal before accessing healthcare under the Scheme.
Mr. Frimpong urged parents or mothers to register their babies onto the Scheme three months after birth to be covered.
Nana Owusu Kwarteng II, Chief of Adumanafo, expressed his profound gratitude to the management of the Scheme for bringing the education to the doorsteps of his subjects.
Nana Kwarteng registered some of the residents, especially the aged, onto the Scheme, and pleaded with the citizenry, especially the youth, to abide by the laws, rules and regulations of the Scheme.
Some of opinion leaders, who graced the occasion, included the Kwabre Municipal Director of Health, nananom (chiefs), the Assembly Member for Adumanafo Electoral Area and representatives of the Municipal Director of Social Welfare and Community Development.
