ASSEMBLY MEMBER REGISTERS 500 UNDER NHIS (PAGE 20, JAN 15 2010)

Five hundred residents within the Esikafo Ammbantem-Antem Electoral Area in Cape Coast have benefited from a free registration exercise under the National Health Insurance Scheme.
Their registration was sponsored by the assembly member, Nana Kweku Awuku, who is also the Presiding Member of the Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly.
The figure included residents whose cards had expired and took advantage of the opportunity to renew them.
According to Nana Awuku, the package was his Christmas and New Year gift for the residents.
Nana Awuku said he decided to register the residents free of charge, in appreciation of their support and co-operation for the past seven years that he had represented them as their assembly member.
He said he had succeeded in his work as an assembly member because of the maximum co-operation and full support he enjoyed from the residents.
He said during the seven years, he had been able to initiate a number of development projects to improve conditions within the community.
These include a sanitary facility and a six- classroom block at Antem, streetlights at Esikafo Ammbantem and improvement in the drainage system within the two communities.
He commended the residents for their continuous support and expressed the hope that they would continue to do so for the development of the area.
