The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Anambra state Health Insurance Agency, ASHIA, Dr. Simeon Onyemaechi says health insurance scheme is the only way to achieve Universal Health Coverage.
Dr. Onyemaechi disclosed this after receiving his Presidential Medal, as the best graduating student in Doctor of Philosophy, Public Health, 2022 set, at the Central University of Nicaragua.
Dr. Onyemaechi, who thanked God for his grace to achieve the feat, said that health insurance scheme is the only means to attain a universal health coverage.
The ASHIA boss praised Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration for its doggedness, zeal and determination to reposition the Anambra state health sector, and made it clear that the agency will continue to serve Ndi Anambra better at all times.
He maintained that with the agency’s adoption model, affluent citizens, especially wealthy Ndi Anambra can enroll their wards, family members, villagers and the less privileged into the scheme, by paying one thousand naira monthly or twelve thousand naira yearly, for them to enjoy the benefits embedded in the scheme.
Dr Onyemaechi warned ASHIA implementing medical facilities to be responsive in the discharge of their duties as the agency will not tolerate any atom of fraud or misconduct.
According to him, the agency was set up to give Ndi Anambra and other residents of the state affordable, accessible and efficient healthcare service delivery, to avoid out-of-pocket spending.
