 Oyo Launches Free Health Insurance for 10,000 Primary School Pupils


The Oyo State Government has officially launched the enrollment of 10,000 public primary school pupils into its health insurance scheme.

The Chairman of OYOSUBEB, Nureni Adeniran, and Executive Secretary of OYSHIA, Olusola Akande, reaffirmed their commitment to the program’s successful implementation, describing it as a major step toward expanding healthcare access for children across the state.
