Thousands of residents in the Jomoro Municipality of the Western Region have benefited from free registration and renewal of National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) cards, ensuring that both new applicants and those needing renewal can access healthcare services.
The exercise, which began on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, is being carried out across seventeen communities in the municipality and is scheduled to end on Monday, March 30, 2026.
This initiative is a collaboration between the Office of the Jomoro Municipal Chief Executive, Benedict Boadi, and the Member of Parliament, Dorcas Affo-Toffey.
Communities benefiting from the programme include Ekababu, Beyin, Ngelekazo, Meagyina/Nzulezo, Kabenlasuazo, Ellonyi, Kengen, Twenen, Agyeza, Allengezule, Ehoaka, Ezilinbo, Bonyere, Ndumsuazo, Nawule, Bonyere Junction, and Half Assini.
Dorcas Affo-Toffey, who is also the Deputy Minister of Transport, explained that the free NHIS registration and renewal is part of the Ghana National Gas Company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. She added that the programme followed lobbying efforts by herself and the Municipal Chief Executive to ensure that the benefits of the company’s social interventions reach all residents of Jomoro.
“The aim is to ensure that all residents have NHIS cards so they can access healthcare whenever they fall sick,” she said.
The Municipal Chief Executive, Benedict Boadi, urged assembly members and party leadership in the targeted communities to mobilize residents and ensure full participation for the success of the exercise.
