As a way of cushioning the adverse effects of the current economic crisis, 70,000 Ogun residents will benefit from a free surgical health service scheme flagged off by Governor DAPO ABIODUN’s administration.

At the enrolment centre, the Ogun State Health Insurance Agency’s Executive Secretary, Dr AFOLABI DOSUNMU, said the scheme was open to residents of the state with surgical needs.

Dr DOSUNMU said anyone who is a resident of the state with one surgical need, or the other is free to walk into any of the general hospitals in the state and enrol in the insurance scheme. 

He explained that the state’s health sector already got a mandate from Governor ABIODUN to enroll 70, 000 people broken down into 20, 000 pregnant women, 20, 000 market women, and 30, 000 poor people in the state.
