July 25, (THEWILL) – In fulfilment of his campaign promise to operate an all-inclusive government irrespective of class, religion or political divide and his determination to deliver qualitative healthcare without hindrance to the people of Osun State, the Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, has directed the Osun Health Insurance Agency (OSHIA) to commence free enrollment of all Persons Living With Disabilities in the state’s health insurance scheme.
In the same vein, Governor Adeleke has approved the procurement of aiding equipment needed for the respective PWDs in order to make life more comfortable for them.
In line with this directive, the Secretary of the OSHIA, Dr. Rasaq Akindele, has unveiled the timetable for the commencement of the free enrollment of all PWDs and enjoined beneficiaries to visit their respective local government secretariats and area office, Modakeke, for free registration.
The programme is expected to run from Monday, July 29, 2024, to Thursday, August 8, 2024, covering all the nine federal constituencies.
Dr. Akindele stressed that the enrollment of PWDs will give them the opportunity to have the necessary data and information about their medical condition and how best to offer them treatment.
Recall that earlier in the year, Governor Adeleke ordered the enrollment of all pensioners into the state insurance scheme for better healthcare delivery. This is another gesture by the government to demonstrate to the people of the state that the government sincerely cares about their wellbeing.
