Dr. Senanu Kwesi Dzokoto, Deputy Chief Executive Officer in charge of Operations at the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), has extended support to victims of the recent floods in the Keta Municipality by donating essential relief items.
Due to his unavailability, the donation was presented on his behalf by Mr. Prosper Sevor, Manager and Municipal Director of NHIS in Keta. During the presentation, Mr. Sevor reiterated Dr. Dzokoto’s commitment to the wellbeing of affected residents and appealed to other organizations, corporate bodies, and well-meaning individuals to come forward with support to help alleviate the suffering of those impacted.
The relief items were officially handed over to the Keta Municipal Director of NADMO, Mr. Wonder Setsoafia Deynu. Receiving the donation, Mr. Deynu expressed heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Dzokoto and the NHIS for their timely intervention. He described the gesture as compassionate and urged other institutions and individuals to emulate the Deputy CEO’s kind example.
According to NADMO, the relief support will be distributed to 30 flood-affected communities across the Keta Municipality as well as 50 communities in Anloga. Some of the communities to benefit include Seva, Anyako, Horvi, and Kedzikope, among others.
The donated items include:
500 pairs of Wellington boots to help residents navigate flooded areas,
GHS 20,000 to support NADMO’s transportation and logistics in reaching the affected communities,
GHS 10,000 to NHIS to facilitate the free registration of affected individuals from the impacted communities, and
GHS 15,000 to the Ghana Health Service to support the treatment and prevention of water-borne diseases.
Phase 1 of the distribution exercise commenced early this morning at 10:30am. Mr. Wonder Setsoafia Deynu assured residents that all 30 affected communities will receive their share of the relief items in the coming days, as efforts continue to bring relief and restore normalcy to the area.
