The Osun state government has commenced the enrolment of pensioners into the state health insurance scheme. The scheme which will ensure that pensioners in the state have access to free health care is the brainchild of the Adeleke led administration.
Some of the beneficiaries while expressing their appreciation to Governor Ademola Adeleke, commended the Governor for paying attention to their well being at this time of economic hardship and recession praying that God will grant him more wisdom to move the state forward.
Executive Secretary, Osun Health Insurance Scheme, Dr Rasak Akindele, said the agency has been directed by Governor Ademola Adeleke to enrol all retirees in the state into the free health scheme, adding that Gov. Ademola Adeleke is giving priority to workers welfare and restated the commitment of the State Government to the welfare of the pensioners in the state.
He said Gov Adeleke is committed to improving workers’ welfare while noting that a template had been released earlier this year for the payment of outstanding salaries and pensions.
