The Senior Citizens Wellbeing Support Initiative (SCWSI), led by its Chairman, Felix Dav, paid a courtesy visit to the Benue State Health Insurance Agency (BNSHIA) at the Agency’s Conference Hall to seek collaboration on the enrolment of its members into the state health insurance scheme.

The visit was aimed at introducing the activities of SCWSI, which focuses on the care and wellbeing of senior citizens aged 60 years and above, and exploring ways of ensuring that its members benefit from health insurance services.

Welcoming the delegation, the Executive Secretary of BNSHIA, Prof. Kenneth Korve, enlightened them on the importance of health insurance and the establishment of the Agency to provide affordable and accessible healthcare services to residents of Benue State.

He also explained the various programmes of the Agency, including the Formal Sector, Informal Sector, Tertiary Institutions Students' Health Insurance Programme and Vulnerable Groups Programme.

The delegation was further enlightened on how to coordinate its activities with BNSHIA to ensure that its members benefit effectively from the health insurance scheme.

Prof. Korve assured the organisation of BNSHIA's readiness to participate in its forthcoming sensitisation meetings to educate members on the Agency's programmes and the benefits of enrolling on the scheme.
