He said that after the flag-off, malaria treatment, high blood check, diabetics screening would be free of charge for all residents.

Oginni said that under the scheme, delivery, anti-natal, post-natal and family planning would be free for pregnant women, while immunisation would be free for children.

He said other pilot states where the basic health fund scheme would be flagged-off include Abia, Niger, Katsina, Yobe and Edo.

Oginni said the basic health fund would be disbursed through the State Primary Health Care Development Agency and Social Health Insurance scheme.

He said the primary health care development agency would be responsible for personnel, infrastructure and purchase of consumables and drugs.

“While the health insurance scheme will capture the data of those who have received services under the basic health fund,” he said.

Oginni explained that under the insurance scheme, those who require further services, which basic health fund could not cover, would have to be enrolled into the scheme.

He said for civil servants and those in organised formal sector, who would be enrolled into the scheme, 1.5 per cent would be deducted from their basic salary while their employers would contribute 3 per cent on a monthly basis.

He said the beneficary could add their spouse and four children who are under the age of 18 years.

He said those in the informal sector could also be enrolled under the scheme.

Oginni said the health insurance scheme would provide robust health services for the people of the state

Did y'all notice fed govt recent effort towards Osun people?
From Trader Moni to giving Osun money to pay its huge salary deficits.
Is Osun state now the only state in the SW? Same people alleged they're not scared of Adeleke. I laff in Kafanchan.

All attention now shift to Osun State. Their bondage must not be broken. The civil servants must be confused to tighten up their chain of bondage with their thumbs as we flash some little goodies across their faces.
