Sylvester Mensah – NHIA boss<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Oguaa National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) has since its inception in 2005 registered 150,903 people in and around the Cape Coast Metropolis.<\/p>\n

Mr. Amos Assifuah, Scheme Manager, however told the GNA that the objective of the Scheme set up to assist people to access affordable health care was not being realized.<\/p>\n

He said was the elite in society who were rather benefitting and that the education had not gone down well with the rural communities who believe the NHIS was in to exploit them.<\/p>\n

Mr Assifuah said the poor and vulnerable, who are the main focus of the Scheme, visited the offices only when they were seriously ill and realize they could not afford health care services.<\/p>\n

He said his office would conduct mass registration in densely populated areas by end of 2011.<\/p>\n

His office would also organize workshops for its service providers and stakeholders.<\/p>\n

Mr. Assifuah said the biggest challenge of his office was office space and appealed to the government to build a new office for it to ease the congestion which had come about as a result of the increasing number of clients.<\/p>\n

He said the strategic positioning of the Oguaa NHIS Office, which is close to the Regional Hospital, a referral point, attracts people from surrounding towns like Yamoransa, Moree, Jukwa, Assin Fosu and other districts for registration hence the mounting pressure on the office which lacks enough space and structures to deal with the situation.<\/p>\n
