The forum had in attendance the youth and some women groups and formed part of a nationwide project being undertaken by CEDEP to empower the poor, vulnerable and the marginalized to participate in the NHIS.
He stressed the need for residence of Offinso to register for the scheme and cautioned them to pay attention to environmental and personal hygiene for the improvement of their health.
