Nuba residents benefit from extended free NHIS registration exercise

The National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) registration and renewal exercise, organized by Assembly Member Emmanuel Kwasie Amihere, better known as Ghanaman, in collaboration with the Jomoro Member of Parliament Dorcas Affo-Toffey, provided extended services to residents of Nuba in the Jomoro Municipality of the Western Region.

Initially scheduled for a single day, the exercise was expanded to two days in its second phase to accommodate a larger number of individuals seeking to register, renew their NHIS membership, or replace lost or damaged cards. The first phase successfully registered 75 new members, renewed 80 memberships, and replaced 15 cards, with 170 residents benefiting from the initiative.

During the second phase, 133 residents registered for the first time, 70 renewed their memberships, and 50 replaced their cards. The Assembly Member expressed gratitude to both the Jomoro MP and Deputy Minister of Transport, Dorcas Affo-Toffey, along with the Municipal Chief Executive, Benedict Boadi, for their support. Ghanaman noted that the assistance from these leaders enabled the extension of the exercise and the provision of services to more residents, especially those facing challenges in accessing registration and renewal services due to travel or financial constraints.

The intervention has brought relief to residents, prompting Ghanaman to commend the Jomoro MP and MCE for their dedication to enhancing residents' welfare. He urged beneficiaries to utilize their NHIS membership effectively by seeking necessary medical attention when needed, and reaffirmed his commitment to fostering more development-oriented initiatives within the Nuba Electoral Area.
