The Kebbi State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency (KECHEMA) has successfully completed the enrolment of all the 48,436 lives on 30th September, 2023. However, beneficiaries have since been accessing services.

KECHEMA involved important stakeholders in the enrolment exercise: NIMC, State NHIS Office, SOCU (NASSCO), NBS, CAC, Kebbi State House of Assembly, Chairmen of Local Government Councils, Politicians, Religious and Traditional leaders etc. the critical role played by the four Emirate councils in the State cannot be overemphasized. 

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS)  Kebbi State Office availed KECHEMA with the latest population estimates of the State and all the 21 LGAs. That made it easier for KECHEMA to allocate the number of beneficiaries equitably amongst the LGAs. Some stakeholders were however, reluctant to bring the number of would-be-beneficiaries allocated to them. The numbers were re-allocated to others that would respect the deadline for enrollment execrcise.

The NHIS Kebbi State Office routinely supervised the process and validated the data. Healthcare providers were also sensitized to tactfully expose any beneficiary that did not fit the vulnerability criteria.

KECHEMA shall register the outstanding beneficiaries as soon as the State Government releases the 25% counterpart funds.

KECHEMA is actively engaging mainstream and social media to sensitize the beneficiaries and general public on BHCPF and KECHES, to generate more demand and ensure patronage.
