The commission further stated that out of the 18,305 babies, 5,107 were delivered by Cesarean section, while 436 were twins, 11 were triplets, and two were quadruplets, also part of the commission’s report.

The commission’s director-general, Abiodun Oyeneyin, disclosed this on Tuesday at a press conference held in Akure, the state capital, to mark the sixth anniversary of the Orange Health Insurance Scheme.

Oyeneyin further disclosed that under its Abiyamo Scheme, the commission has recorded over 55,557 beneficiaries, including pregnant women and children under 5.

According to the DG, “From October 2021, we have enrolled 82,662 vulnerable people across 203 wards in the 18 LGAs of the state under the Basic Health Care Provision Fund Programme (BHCPFP ‘Ilera Loro’ Scheme). The vulnerable consist of widows, the elderly, women of reproductive age, and children under five years old.”

While noting that the commission has covered 203 orphans, 2517 people with disabilities and 404 Sickle cell warriors across the state, Oyeneyin said, “Medical services, including renal dialysis (18 Beneficiaries currently have regular sessions), have been provided with over 1368 intermediate and major surgeries performed so far.”

His words:” For Orange Health Insurance Scheme (ORANGHIS), “to date, 103,738 enrollees (Public servants and their dependents) currently have access to medical care in their chosen hospitals, and over 1368 surgeries have been performed in less than three years.

“To date, we have paid capitation to all our facilities, and claims for secondary services have also been paid as due. Our team of competent and dedicated staff are working tirelessly around the clock to ensure seamless provision of quality healthcare services to our teeming enrollees.”

The state governor, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who was represented by his Special Adviser on Health Matters, Prof. Simi Odimayo, disclosed that the government has continued to strengthen the health sector, ensuring the completion of the 250-bed hospital in both Akure and Ondo.

Odimayo said the government’s efforts have attracted the first-ever “federal teaching hospital, a full-time teaching hospital that will be commissioned in the next two or three weeks.”
