Maiha Local Government Area recently hosted a one-day sensitization campaign on the Community-Based Health Insurance (CBHI) program to educate stakeholders on identifying, selecting, and enrolling vulnerable groups into the scheme.
The event brought together community leaders, ward development committees, health workers, women leaders, and youth representatives to foster understanding and ensure active participation in the program.
As part of the campaign, an advocacy visit was made to the Executive Secretary of the Primary Health Care Development Authority (PHCDA) Maiha, where the program’s objectives were discussed, and assurances of support and collaboration were received.
Opening the session, the Executive Secretary described the initiative as a milestone for the community, stating:
“By working together, we can ensure that no vulnerable person in Maiha is left behind when it comes to accessing quality healthcare.”
Representatives from the Adamawa State Contributory Health Management Agency emphasized the government’s commitment to strengthening community-based health insurance. They highlighted the importance of grassroots stakeholders in identifying and enrolling eligible beneficiaries to achieve universal health coverage.
The technical session included detailed presentations on the CBHI model, explaining the processes for beneficiary identification and stakeholder responsibilities. Participants actively engaged in discussions, asking questions to gain clarity on enrollment procedures.
In his vote of thanks, the District Head of Maiha commended both organizers and participants, saying:
“This sensitization will go a long way in improving access to health services for our vulnerable groups, and we pledge our continued cooperation.”
The event concluded with a group photograph of dignitaries, facilitators, and participants, symbolizing unity and shared responsibility for improving healthcare delivery.
The campaign is expected to make the identification and enrollment process more transparent and inclusive, benefiting vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, children under five, survivors of gender-based violence, and fistula patients.
With enhanced awareness and stronger community involvement, the CBHI program aims to expand access to essential health services and reduce out-of-pocket healthcare spending for vulnerable households in Maiha.
