The National Health Insurance Authority NHIA will soon provide mobile registration kits to ease the queues at the biometric registration centres.<\/p>\n
The Chief Executive Officer of the NHIA disclosed this during a visit to some NHIA registration centres in the Greater Accra and Central Regions.<\/p>\n
Some of the schemes or registration centres visited include Kpeshie Scheme, La Scheme, Adenta Scheme, and Ablekuma Sub Metro Scheme among others.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of subscribers had queued to either register or renew their cards.<\/p>\n
All the managers at various registration centres blamed the slow pace of the registration on connectivity challenges.<\/p>\n
Speaking to\u00a0Citi News<\/strong>\u00a0after the visit, Mr. Mensah said \u201cwe have challenges regarding downtime and connectivity. As a result of the rains last night, connectivity is a little poor and it has slowed down the registration process. We have been trying to explain this to some of our subscribers.”<\/p>\n He therefore assured the general public that measures will be put in place to improve connectivity and \u201censure faster registration\u201d.<\/p>\n After the monitoring the registration process at various centres, Mr. Mensah said \u201ctechnically I think that the exercise is going on as planned.”<\/p>\n He however acknowledged the challenges also arising from the increasing numbers at the registration centers.<\/p>\n In that regard, he advised subscribers who had registered earlier to avoid registering again.<\/p>\n “The whole idea is that if you have registered, you don\u2019t need to come to the registration centre. Just use your card and when it\u2019s about to expire, perhaps two weeks to the expiry date of your card ,you could come to the centre and register, ” he advised.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By: Magadalene Larnyoh\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The National Health Insurance Authority NHIA will soon provide mobile registration kits to ease the queues at the biometric registration centres.
