In a profound demonstration of support and leadership, Okyenhene Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin has ignited a fervent call to action in Dr. Da-Costa Aboagye, the recently appointed CEO of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA).

Renowned for his unwavering commitment to progress, Okyenhene emphasized the imperative need for courage and positive transformation in leadership during a recent courtesy visit to his Palace in Kyebi.

The NHIA, entrusted with managing the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), serves as a cornerstone in ensuring equitable access to healthcare for all citizens across Ghana.

Okyenhene Osagyefo lamented the persisting reality of poverty in a nation blessed with abundant natural resources, urging Dr. Da-Costa Aboagye to utilize his leadership within the NHIA to effect meaningful change, particularly in addressing the socio-economic disparities faced by rural communities.

Responding to Okyenhene's impassioned charge, Dr. Da-Costa Aboagye outlined his strategic vision to fortify the NHIS's operations, ensuring its sustainability and attractiveness to all stakeholders.

Recognizing the pivotal role of community leaders in driving transformative action, he sought the Okyenhene's guidance and support to navigate the challenges ahead and realize his ambitious goals.

The visit transcended mere dialogue, as the delegation embarked on an inspection of an ongoing NHIA District office project in Suhum. This tangible commitment underscores the NHIA's dedication to expanding access to vital healthcare services, a cornerstone of its mandate under the NHIS.

Okyenhene's call for courage and proactive leadership resonates deeply in a time marked by both challenges and opportunities. His rallying cry echoes a broader sentiment for change and progress across Ghana, inspiring hope for a brighter future.

As Dr. Da-Costa Aboagye assumes his new role, he carries not only the weight of responsibility but also the promise of transformative action. With the steadfast support of community leaders like the Okyehene and a dedicated team, he stands poised to chart a course toward a more equitable health delivery and a healthy future for all Ghanaians.

In his address to the staff, Dr. Da-Costa emphasized, "In the spirit of collaboration and shared vision, our journey towards positive change begins. Let us heed the Okyehene's call, embrace the challenges ahead, and collectively strive towards a Ghana where access to healthcare knows no bounds and opportunity abounds for every citizen."
