In a landmark initiative, the Ogun State Health Insurance Agency (OGSHA) has announced the commencement of a free surgical intervention program for residents of the state starting from Monday, 26th February 2024.
According to the statement, this program aims to provide essential surgical care at no cost to the beneficiaries.
The initiative, which is part of the broader Ilera d’ero health insurance scheme, will ensure that financial barriers do not prevent residents from accessing necessary surgeries.
To participate, the statement added that residents must visit their nearest State or General Hospital, register their names, undergo a health screening, and then they will be scheduled for surgery.
The statement read: “This health initiative under the auspices of the Ogun State Health Insurance Agency will see any resident of the state with health challenges requiring surgical intervention get access to the required health care for free.
“To benefit from this unprecedented initiative, interested individuals are required to do the following from Monday 26th February, 2024:”
“1) Visit the closest State or General Hospital to them. 2) Put down their names for the required surgery. 3) Get screened by the health professionals. 4) Get booked and have the surgery done on the appointed date.”
“*Beneficiaries will continue to enjoy free healthcare for the next one year after the surgery under the Ilera d’ero health insurance scheme.”
