Following a high-intensity strategic session, the Imo State Health Insurance Agency (IMSHIA) ably led by the Executive Secretary/CEO, Prof. Uchenna Ewelike, has officially concluded a transformative management agreement with the Heartland Hospital Management Corporation (HHMC). This move directly executes the mandate of His Excellency, Governor Hope Uzodimma, to eliminate barriers to medical care and ensure that quality health services are a reality for every citizen under the Shared Prosperity agenda.
By aligning the insurance regulator (IMSHIA) with the hospital managers (HHMC), the state is effectively closing the gap between “having insurance” and “receiving treatment,” ensuring the pulse of healthcare delivery remains strong from the state capital to the remotest ward.
You could recall that the recent philanthropic enrollment of 500 pregnant women by Mr. Seyi Tinubu serves as the benchmark for this new synergy. This management agreement ensures that these beneficiaries—and all ImoCare enrollees—will receive seamless, prioritized care at all the state-managed facilities.
