Abuakwa South residents grateful to Dr. Kingsley Agyemang
Dr. Kingsley Agyemang
Dear Editor,
Dr. Kingsley Agyemang, a philanthropist, has insured more than 26,000 residents in the Abuakwa South Constituency of the Eastern Region free of charge.
The registration of free the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) began in January 2023 in Abuakwa South Constituency. Its first edition ended on March 30, 2023, with more than 12,000 constituents being insured while the second edition which commenced in April is still ongoing.
On records, over 26,000 constituents have been insured so far within six months. The number of insured constituents looks encouraging and speaks volume.
Dr. Agyemang’s focus is not only on education, welfare and agriculture. He included health because he knows health is wealth and our health is very important to him.
Talking about health, he did not only insure constituents, he has organised a series of free health screenings for constituents in various communities to ensure their healthiness.
The residents of the Abuakwa South Constituency appreciate Dr. Agyemang for making constituents’ health a priority and bringing happiness to their doorsteps. “It is been a wonderful journey with you as a leader and we shall cross the river Nile with you,” a resident was heard saying.
As it stands now, over 80 per cent of the constituents are grateful to Dr. Kingsley Agyemang.
I will like to appreciate some key personalities in the Abuakwa South Constituency offering help and making Dr. Agyemang’s task easier. These individuals work tirelessly to make sure his vision in developing the area materialise. I am making it known that, when writing the history book of Abuakwa South, we would not turn blind eye to people like Dr. Michael Ampem Darko, Hon. Dada Joe, Hon. Julius Okyere and Hon. Felix Nyarko Acheampong.
