The Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has inaugurated the state health insurance scheme to ensure that residents of the state have direct and unbridled access to quality health care at an afford
able price.
The governor, who spoke in Ado Ekiti while inaugurating the insurance scheme, said that his administration had also begun renovation of 16 primary healthcare facilities across the state in order to ensure the effectiveness of the insurance scheme. “With SHIS, our people will not go bankrupt or die suddenly due to lack of finance to seek effective and quality treatments for any ailment. The act of insurance simply implies getting ready or prepared for future unforeseen events, that is saving in readiness for unforeseen losses even though nobody prays for one.”
The Commissioner for Health, Dr Mojisola Yaya-Kolade, said about 10,000 mothers and children have registered for the scheme.
