The Osun state government, South West of Nigeria has commenced enrollment of pensioners into the State health insurance scheme.
The scheme which will ensure that senior citizens 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.
