Lagos State Health Management Agency has launched a platform, Eko Social Health Alliance (EKOSHA) to enable residents, especially the vulnerable, access quality healthcare during an event at Providence by Mantis, Ikeja.
General Manager of the agency, Dr. Emmanuella Zamba, said over 230,000 residents have been enrolled on the scheme.
Mrs. Zamba listed proof of residency, vulnerability as defined in the LSHS law, membership of Lagos State Social Register, people living with special conditions as criteria for eligibility.
Applauding Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Mrs. Zamba said “His Excellency has personally enrolled some vulnerable alongside his wife, Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, and other eminent personalities/groups”, adding that “beneficiaries can participate in EKOSHA via https://ekosha.org.”
Commissioner for Health, Prof Abayomi Akin, represented by Director of Medical Admin and Training, Dr. Funmi Shokunbe, said the initiative was born out of the need to complement the governor’s effort in enhancing the health sector.
