The Member of Parliament for Krachi Nchumuru, Solomon Kuyon, has renovated and commissioned a new National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) office in Chinderi, the district capital, to enhance the delivery of health insurance services in the area.
The upgraded facility is expected to significantly improve access to health insurance registration, renewals, and healthcare services for residents, bringing the operations of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) closer to the people.
Speaking to Adom News after the commissioning, Mr Kuyon said the project aligns with his broader vision of strengthening local institutions and improving social services in the district.
“This is the first time Krachi Nchumuru is having an autonomous NHIA office, and it will help bring health insurance services closer to our people. It’s our collective responsibility to ensure that every resident has access to affordable healthcare,” he stated.
The MP also refuted reports circulating on social media suggesting that Krachi Nchumuru did not have an NHIA office, describing such claims as false.
The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Krachi Nchumuru, Mr. Martin Kofi Anato, lauded the MP for the initiative, noting that the new facility would create employment opportunities for residents and help reduce unemployment in the area.
Oti Regional Director of the NHIA, Mr. Jelious Nilimor, also commended Hon. Kuyon for his foresight, describing the renovated office as a “game-changer” for healthcare delivery in the district. He assured that his office would deploy adequate staff and ensure proper maintenance of the facility.
The Ankobea Hene of Bejamse Traditional Area and Chief of Chinderi, Nana Okogye, together with community leaders and residents, expressed gratitude to the MP. They noted that the new office would save them the time and cost previously spent traveling to Kete Krachi for NHIS services.
The renovated NHIA office stands as part of the government’s ongoing efforts to decentralize and improve healthcare access in rural communities across the country.
