The outgoing 2011/2012 National Service year group engaged at the Kassena-Nankana Mutual Health Insurance Scheme (KNMHIS) has presented a notice board to management of the scheme. At a brief ceremony held at the premises of the scheme, the leader of the group Alem Alfred, mentioned that the donation of the board was in appreciation of the kind hospitality shown them. He said considering the creation of congenial working relation between staff and personnel of the scheme, the group in one accord thought it prudent to present the board in recognition of the confidence repose in them. Their decision, he moreover, said was engineered to emphasize their appreciation, commitment and dedication to duty and urge management to uphold the virtue of good working relation with staff as well as incoming service personnel. The Manager of the Scheme, David Samari who received the board on behalf of management expressed heart warm gratitude to the group, describing the donation as historic. According to him, it is a wakeup call since the gesture was the first of its kind to be made since the scheme began operation 8 years ago. The group, he pointed out has left an indelible mark signifying their sense of responsibility. Mr Samari encouraged them to keep up with the good work and appealed to other staff particularly those in the public service to develop penchant in donating for a worthy cause. Government, he added cannot shoulder every responsibility, hence the need for workers to complement its effort. He said as a tradition practiced by the scheme over the years, five out of the 12 hard working personnel had been maintained to provide essential services to the scheme till their period expires. The move, he explained, was to acknowledge their tiring effort and contribution towards the development of the scheme. Speaking to Radio Ghana after the presentation, Mr. Samari said the scheme over the past years has recorded tremendous improvement in the area of registration, recounting the role of the scheme in addressing the health needs of Ghanaians. He said though the scheme is faced with its own challenges efforts are being made to achieve it desired objectives. Mr Samari however cautioned the general public against the politicization of the scheme and called on Ghanaians to support and register with the scheme.
