In an address to officially open the office, Adwoa Safo said Dome-Kwabenya Constituency has a fast growing population and therefore there was the need to construct a municipal NHIA office to serve the people.

“As an MP who has the health of my constituents at heart, I have constructed the Haatso Maternity Clinic, cut the sod to commence the construction of a Clinical Service and OPD Block at Abokobi Health Centre, provided free health screening, and renewed NHIA cards for thousands of my constituents.”
Adwoa Safo urged the workers to maintain the place well.
The Chief Executive Officer of National Health Insurance Authroity, Dr. Lydia Dsane -Selby in an address said the current government has conceptualised the need for all to get healthcare has improved accessibility of the National Health Insurance cards.
She said Dome-Kwabenya needed a bigger and spacious NHIA space to serve its people.
The ceremony attracted many dignitaries including the Municipal Chief Executive of the area, Elizabeth Kaakie-Mann, the District Health Director and Regional Director of NHIA, pastors, imams and chiefs of the various areas.
