Aiyedatiwa enrols pensioners into free Ondo health insurance scheme

Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has officially extended medical coverage to all retired civil servants by enrolling them in the Orange Health Insurance Scheme. This initiative ensures that pensioners will receive healthcare services at no personal cost, as the state government has committed to covering all associated expenses. By integrating this demographic into the existing insurance framework, the administration aims to alleviate the financial burden of medical care for the elderly. This policy shift represents a significant effort by the state to support former public employees during their retirement years. The move is expected to improve health outcomes for thousands of retirees across the region.

This policy provides essential financial relief and guaranteed healthcare access to a vulnerable segment of the population that previously faced high out-of-pocket medical costs.
