Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has announced the enrollment of 23,000 pensioners in the state into the health insurance scheme. The governor disclosed this during the unveiling of the pensioners’ enrollment in Osogbo, emphasizing that the retirees were enrolled free of charge as part of the state’s commitment to their well-being.<\/p>\n
Adeleke highlighted that the decision to introduce the health insurance scheme stemmed from a comprehensive review of the living conditions of pensioners in the state. The review revealed that a significant portion of their pension income was dedicated to managing health challenges. The governor emphasized that almost 80 percent of pensioners’ issues revolved around health concerns, prompting the government to address the root cause.<\/p>\n
The health insurance scheme is designed as a direct intervention to meet the needs of senior citizens at their point of necessity. Adeleke emphasized that this program is the first of its kind and aims to demonstrate that the government can effectively address the desires and aspirations of the people.<\/p>\n
With at least 23,000 pensioners in Osun, the governor urged all of them to take advantage of the enrollment process and avail themselves of the health insurance scheme. Adeleke reassured workers and pensioners that the recently unveiled multi-billion naira infrastructure plan in the state would not negatively impact their welfare. He emphasized his commitment to fulfilling election promises and stated that the health insurance initiative for pensioners demonstrates the government’s dedication to citizens’ well-being.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
