Over 1,000 residents of Anaocha have been enrolled into the Anambra State Health Insurance Scheme, thanks to an initiative by Anaocha Mayor, Hon. Rome Ibekwe, in partnership with St. Cletus Hospital, Neni. The free enrollment targets the elderly, women, men, and children, especially in rural communities.
Hon. Ibekwe said the move would reduce untimely deaths by bringing quality healthcare to people’s doorsteps.
St. Cletus CEO, Mr. Calistus Obianodo, praised the effort, urging the wealthy to support the poor in accessing healthcare.
The initiative earned commendation from Hon. Ejike Okechukwu of the State Assembly and other council leaders, who urged Ndi Anaocha to utilize the scheme. ASHIA’s Mrs. Ngozi Agejelu highlighted the scheme’s affordability and life-saving benefits, while beneficiaries described the program as a timely blessing.
