During the visit, the CEO interacted with staff and clients, observing first-hand the day-to-day activities at the office.
Officials say the move is intended to identify challenges facing both staff and subscribers under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), particularly in areas such as registration, card processing, and claims administration.
Speaking during the visit, the NHIA CEO emphasized the importance of professionalism, punctuality, and client-centered service. He urged staff to remain committed to delivering quality healthcare support services, noting that the Authority plays a critical role in ensuring access to affordable healthcare for Ghanaians.
Some clients at the office took the opportunity to share their experiences, highlighting concerns over delays in card issuance and renewal processes. The CEO assured them that steps are being taken to streamline operations and improve turnaround times across all district offices.
The visit also allowed management to evaluate the working conditions of staff and the availability of logistics necessary for efficient service delivery. The CEO pledged that concerns raised would be addressed promptly to enhance productivity and customer satisfaction.
The NHIA has in recent months intensified its monitoring and supervision efforts nationwide as part of ongoing reforms aimed at strengthening the NHIS and restoring public confidence in the scheme.
