The newly established Kwara State Health Insurance Agency says it will commence registration for the State Health Insurance Scheme in August.
This followed the launching of the scheme by Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed on Thursday in Ilorin.
Speaking during the launching of the scheme, the Executive Secretary of the Agency, Dr. Olubunmi Jetawo-Winter, disclosed that the registration exercise will hold for 90 days across the 193 wards of the State.
Jetawo-Winter said during the registration period, the agency will capture all baseline health information, and bio-data of all residents, which, she said, will form the bedrock of standardization of operations of the scheme.
