The youngest NHIA Boss was speaking at the Ghana Insurance Awards Night powered by Xodus Communications Limited in Accra, Friday night August, 26, 2022.
He commended Xodus Communications Limited for putting up such an impressive event, which was the fifth edition.
“I am absolutely convinced that the next 10 to 50 years, companies will beg to be part of this awards ceremony.”
Dr. Okoe Boye told the business conglomerates that the collective goal of the NHIA and private insurers should be the prudent use of tax payers contributions to provide health care services to all residents in Ghana.
“The NHIA can so far boast of 16.7 million active membership. We have an opportunity to register more people into our data base.”
“I challenge you the private health insurers to work harder in supporting the NHIA’s agenda to attain Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by the year 2030.”
