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.”
