Health News of Saturday, 6 March 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comCOVID-19: NHIA extends service periods to students before SHS reopeningDr. Lydia Dsane-Selby, the Chief Executive Officer of the National Health Insurance AuthorityDr. Lydia Dsane-Selby, the Chief Executive Officer of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), has announced the extension of the period of services of the Authority to the public, ahead of the reopening of Senior High Schools. She, however, said parents and students did not need to go to the NHIA office if they only wanted to renew their cards, because they could renew the card by dialing *929# at a fee of GH¢6.00. “Parents, forget about the expiry dates on your cards when you renew via mobile technology because as soon as you renew, the card is still valid,” she said. The CEO said it was, therefore, necessary for only parents and students who were yet to secure a new card to go to the NHIA offices. She advised the public to use the mobile technology system to renew their cards to prevent social gatherings at the offices of the Authority.
