The Executive Governor of Osun State Senator, Adeleke Adeleke has flagged off the enrolment of traditional rulers and their queens into the Osun Health Insurance Scheme (OHIS).
This is just as the Governor commissioned the newly completed Osun Health Insurance Agency (OSHIA) Multipurpose Hall.
Speaking at the event which held on Tuesday, Governor Adeleke who presented the OHIS card to the Monarchs, described the event as a testament to his administration’s commitment to providing quality and affordable health services to residents of the state.
According to him, the free enrolment initiative is another bold step by our administration to ensure that traditional rulers and their queens enjoy qualitative healthcare services without financial hardship, in line with our people-centred health policy.
“We have delivered across all sectors of the economy and our administration deserves to be re-elected. On this note, I commission the OHIS Multipurpose Hall and flag off the enrolment of our royal fathers into the state health insurance scheme,” Governor Adeleke stated.
Earlier, the Executive Secretary of Osun Health Insurance Agency Dr. Rasaq Akindele lauded that Governor for providing enabling environment for the agency to operate effectively.
He added, “by enrolling our royal fathers into the Scheme, we are not only recognizing their invaluable contributions to community development but also empowering them to serve as ambassadors and advocates for social health insurance at the grassroots.”
He also stressed that the OSHIA Multipurpose Hall represents a lawful and strategic institutional investment undertaken in strict conformity with the enabling law of the Agency, with due regard for transparency, accountability and value for public resources.
