Prof. Onyaye urged residents of the state to take full advantage of the scheme in order not to be victim of unforeseen health conditions. “Things can happen when you never bargained for, but when the unexpected occurs, with the BHIS, you can access healthcare without selling any property for medical bills”, she stated.
