NHIA Opens New Offices In Kumbungu And Nanton

The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) is on the verge of opening new offices across Ghana to make the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) accessible to people regardless of their geographical locations.

It is against this backdrop that two new NHIS district offices have been inaugurated in Kumbungu and Nanton districts in the Northern Region.

The projects were duly inaugurated by the NHIA Chief Executive, Hon. Dr. Bernard Okoe-Boye on December 5, 2022, in Kumbungu and Nanton respectively

Some members of the NHIA Governing Board, Executive Management and staff witnessed the inaugural ceremonies.

At Kumbungu, Alaafe Bonzali Naa, Dr. Okoe Boye said the NHIA offices were established because health is a right of every resident of Ghana.

He added that the NHIA was duty-bound to ensure that all people have equitable access to effective health care services at all levels.

Dr. Okoe Boye thanked the Minister for Tourism, Dr. Mohammed Awal for donating the building to the NHIA.

He urged the skeletal staff to put up their best and promised to augment the staff numerical strength.

The chiefs and residents of Kumbungu were elated since they would no longer travel to Tolon for enrollment onto the NHIS.
