Kpachi (N/R)-Ghana, April 16, GNA – A total of 230 residents of Kpachi in the Kumbungu District have received financial support to enable them to register under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) to enjoy free health care.
The initiative was undertaken by TOUCH-PEOPLE’S LIVES FOUNDATION with support from De Bruel School (Zeist) in Holland, Gethsemane Encounter (Holland) and Maganoba Farms to help for the poor and needy to benefit from the NHIS to address some of their health care challenges.
Mr Francis Kofi Taylor, Founder of TOUCH-PEOPLE’S LIVES FOUNDATION, speaking at Kpachi to provide the financial support to the beneficiary residents, advised them to prioritise regular medical check-ups to ensure healthy living.
