This initiative reflects the agency’s commitment to advancing universal health access across Anambra State.
The Managing Director and CEO of ASHIA, Dr Simeon Onyemaechi, highlighted the SHDP as a pivotal framework designed to expand health insurance coverage and ensure wider enrollment in the state’s health insurance scheme.
