Gombe State commissioner for Health, Dr. Habu Dahiru had described the initiative that set up the state’s Contributory Healthcare Management Agency (GOHealth) as remarkable.
At a first stakeholders workshop jointly organised by the Development Governance International (DGI) and the state Ministry of Health, Dahiru assured stakeholders of Governor Inuwa Yahaya’s commitment to Universal Health Coverage for all in the state.
He advised the team to brainstorm and review with the consultants to develop a working paper for the scheme state’s endorsement.
He spoke on the journey so far, and commended the governor for signing the bill enabling the agency in December 2019.
He recalled that the governor also constituted a five-man technical working group to midwife the process to which DGI were instrumental to the design of the State Contributory Scheme.
“This design has catapulted the state’s sgency ahead of so many other states that started long before her,” he said.
