RIVCHPP Marks 2nd Anniversary

RIVCHPP’s Executive Secretary emphasised that with RIVCHPP becoming operational, children are safely delivered, and adults are treated for illnesses that would once have pushed families into debt or despair.

Dr. Agala also stated that in just two years, RIVCHPP has grown from a newly activated institution into a maturing , learning system, where coverage has expanded steadily, processes have improved, and trust has deepened.

The Executive Secretary of RIVCHPP then used the occasion to announce that the health insurance agency would continue to expand coverage, enrolling at least 1 million lives in 2026 as we journey towards Universal Health Coverage in Rivers State. RIVCHPP would work round the clock to ensure quality of care for its beneficiaries.

Dr. Agala pointed out that the progress made by RIVCHPP reflects the purposeful stewardship from the Ministry of Health under Dr. Adaeze Chidinma Oreh, whose reform mindset continues to strengthen health financing and service delivery across the state.

As part of its gesture to the residents, RIVCHPP will be enrolling pregnant women free of charge across all Primary Health Centres in Rivers State under the Basic Healthcare Provision Fund (BHCPF).

In addition, throughout the month of February, couples who wish to register under the RIVCARE plan will enjoy a special discount where couples are to register with #45,000, for two persons, instead of #50,000, making health coverage even more accessible for families.

RIVCHPP’s Executive Secretary also expressed gratitude to the Governor, Sir Siminialayi Fubara, GSSRS, the Deputy Governor, Prof. Ngozi Mma Odu, and the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Adaeze Chidinma Oreh, for their unalloyed guidance and support.
