The Commissioner for Health of the state, Dr. Tomi Coker, announced the appointment during the health insurance scheme event held at the Ogun State Health Insurance Agency, Abeokuta, on Monday.

Coker said, “The health insurance scheme has multiple schemes in one basket. We have registered 50, 000 vulnerable people in the Basic Healthcare Provision Fund and the Health insurance for the informal sector running actively since its formal launch by Governor Dapo Abiodun in February.”
