Traditional rulers and other leaders in various communities have been called to key into the programmes of the Delta State Contributory Health Commission to enable indigent persons in their locality, enjoy free healthcare.

The Director General of the commission, Dr. Isaac Akpoveta, made the call in his office in Asaba, when he played host to the Oyede Traditional Rulers Council, from Isoko North Local Government Area of Delta state.

Dr. Akpoveta thanked the Royal Majesty, the Odio- Ologbo of Oyede kingdom and his entourage for the visit, describing it as historic, as he said it was the first time a traditional ruler was paying a courtesy visit on the commission.

The Director General intimated his Royal Majesty and his entourage of the activities of the commission since its establishment by the Okowa administration, adding that the Delta State Contributory Health Scheme has remained one of the foremost social health insurance, with a record of over two million enrollees.

He urged indigenes residing within and outside Oyede, including those in the diaspora to key into the Indigent Enrollee Adoption Programme of the commission, by buying and encouraging others to buy health insurance for indigent persons around them.
