Rep. Bamidele Salam has praised Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State for his recent decision to provide free health insurance enrollment for all Persons Living with Disabilities (PLwD) in the state. Salam, who chairs the House of Representatives Committee on Public Accounts, commended Adeleke for his commitment to inclusivity and equal access to quality healthcare.
In a statement, Salam highlighted that the governor’s initiative is a significant step toward fulfilling campaign promises and improving the well-being of vulnerable populations. He also noted the procurement of equipment to assist PLwD, further underscoring Adeleke’s dedication to their welfare.
Governor Adeleke directed the Osun Health Insurance Agency (OSHIA) to start the free enrollment process on July 25, 2024. The enrollment will be open until August 8, covering all nine federal constituencies in the state. This move aims to gather essential data on the medical needs of PLwD and ensure they receive appropriate treatment.
Salam encouraged all eligible beneficiaries to take advantage of this opportunity and praised Adeleke’s leadership and efforts to transform Osun State.
