RIVCHPP Partners RIMA As Acting Executive Secretary Records Another Milestone

As part of measures to bridge the healthcare gap in Rivers State, the Rivers State Health Contributory Protection Programme, has partnered with the Rivers State Microfinance Agency (RIMA) for improved service delivery.
This milestone is geared towards actualising the blueprint of the Governor Fubara administration in addressing the health needs of the people of the State.
Driving the mandate of Governor Fubara is Dr Vetty Agala, the Acting Executive Secretary of Rivers State Health Contributory Protection Programme ( RIVCHPP).
On a courtesy visit to the management of Rivers State Microfinance Agency (RIMA) in Port Harcourt, recently, Dr Agala said one of the reasons for the visit was to partner with RIMA in order to enhance the partnership and collaboration of both agencies.
Dr Agala said the Governor Fubara deserves applause for taking the huge health burden off Rivers people and residents of the State.
She said Governor Fubara means well for the well-meaning Rivers people including those residing and doing business in the State, hence, the need to support him.
Dr Agala, former Vice Chairman 1 of the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA), Rivers State Branch, said Rivers State remains the best in healthcare provision, courtesy of Governor Fubara with a renowned medical practitioner in the person of Dr Adaeze Oreh supervising the State Ministry of Health.
She said Dr Oreh as State Commissioner for Health has proved her worth by taking Rivers State health sector to enviable heights.
The Acting Executive Secretary commended the RIMA boss for keying into the health contributory scheme, saying, partnering with RIMA would assist in achieving the agency’s set goals.
She said the partnership will secure the health of the staff of the agency and better their living conditions by allowing them to access funds to carry out their businesses and make profits.
Earlier, the Managing Director and Chief Executive of RIMA, Pastor Jonathan Tobin expressed gratitude to Dr Agala and her team for the visit, assuring them that necessary assistance will be accorded to them to make their agency achieve its objectives.
The RIMA CEO said his staff and beneficiaries of the agency’s loan scheme shall be part of the programme.
He said health is wealth, hence, members of staff of the agency shall be part of the scheme approved by the state government to cater for the health needs of the citizenry.
