THE Oyo State Health Insurance Agency (OYSHIA), on Monday reiterated its commitment to healthiness of its enrollees, saying its yearly standard plus plan is N13,500.
Its Executive Secretary, Dr Sola Akande, made this known in a statement in Ibadan.
“We hereby state unequivocally, that the former plan ceased to be in existence as the N8,000 Standard Plan has been replaced with N13,500 Standard plus plan,” Akande said.
The OYSHIA secretary said the agency would still be committed to providing accessible and affordable healthcare services to engender Universal Health Coverage for all Residents of Oyo State.
Akande appealed to the public to disregard a post on social media promoting its former standard healthcare plan of N8,000.
He said that the agency would not relent in its efforts at ensuring affordable and accessible healthcare services to the public.
While appreciating the cordiality, which the agency has been enjoying with the media, Akande urged them to uphold the tenets of journalism in the execution of their duties.
He said that the public, without confirming from OYSHIA, promoted one of its old adverts in collaboration with the United Nations International Emergency Fund (UNICEF) about five years ago at the inception of the scheme.
Akande implored journalists and media houses to uphold the ethics and tenets of the profession by confirming information from the right source before publishing.
