He noted that the present administration remained passionate about the health and well-being of the people, hence the decision to extend the benefits of the State Health Insurance Scheme to revered traditional institutions across the state.
According to him, “the agency has already put necessary machinery in motion to ensure a seamless enrollment exercise. He disclosed that officials of the agency will commence visits to palaces of Traditional Rulers across the state beginning from Wednesday, 20th May, 2026 and will run for two weeks, for the registration and enrollment process.”
