cedis as claims
Mankranso (Ash), Nov 20, GNA - The Ahafo-Ano South District
Health Insurance scheme has since May last year, paid over
one billion cedis as claims to health establishments it
operates with.
It has also registered 24,000 people in the various
categories being covered by the scheme, and has subsequently
issued 20,329 identity cards.
These were contained in a status report released to the
Ghana News Agency at Mankranso at the weekend by Mr Obed
Francis Baffoe, the District Scheme Manager.
According to the report, registered members have started
enjoying free hospital attendance with identity cards at the
various health facilities, which has rendered services to
some 1,130 in-patients and 21,395 outpatients.
It said from May last year to date, the average monthly
attendance stood at 1,325.
The report further said the scheme collected a total
contribution of over 741 million cedis, while government
support for its administration stood at more than two
billion cedis.
Mr Baffoe called on those who had not registered with the
scheme to do so, to enable them to enjoy affordable health
care.
