Anambra governor's wife, Mrs Nonye Soludo has encouraged public officers and affluent individuals in the state to take up enrollment of their people into the Anambra State Health Insurance Scheme as part of their social responsibilities to poor communities.
Mrs Soludo who stated this during the recent flag off of HumanPapillomaVirus (HPV) vaccination in Anambra State, explained such model, if comprehensively adopted, would reduce the weight on the state's health sector and boost life expectancy in the state.
The governor's noted that the affordability and coverage of the Anambra State Health Insurance Scheme are what make it most unique, adding that the current administration understands the need to provide quality, accessible and affordable health care for every resident of the state.
She said that public office holders and well-to-do individuals could capitalize on the scheme's affordability and uniqueness to benefit the people of their respective communities, especially those who are limited by financial demands.
Mrs Soludo further added that religious institutions and social groups could also champion the enrollment for members, stressing that the general idea is to provide quick and cost-effective fall back for individuals and homes that cannot afford basic health care.
