The Kogi Health Insurance Agency (KGSHIA) has intensified efforts to expand coverage as the state judiciary commenced enrollment of staff members into the health insurance scheme.
The Executive Secretary of the Agency, Dr Adekunle Aledare, made this known on Monday during an advocacy visit to the Chief Judge of the State, Josiah Majebi, in Lokoja.
Aledare said health insurance provides access to quality healthcare services and protects beneficiaries from catastrophic health expenditure.
He disclosed that over 2,000 judiciary staff had already been enrolled in the scheme and were awaiting access to care.
According to him, the agency remains committed to ensuring that more public servants benefit from the scheme in line with the State government’s healthcare objectives.
Responding, Majebi commended Gov. Ahmed Ododo for the initiative, describing the health insurance scheme as a significant step toward improving workers’ welfare.
He noted that the programme would enhance productivity and overall wellbeing of workers in the state.
The chief Judge assured that the Judiciary would follow due process to fully onboard its staff into the scheme within the shortest possible time.
