Yishawu Launches Free Health Insurance for Eti-Osa Residents

Gbolahan Olusegun Yishawu, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, has launched a two-year free health insurance program for residents of Eti-Osa Constituency 02, targeting an initial enrollment of 5,000 individuals. This initiative is part of Yishawu's broader commitment to improving healthcare access, particularly for vulnerable populations.

Over the past decade, he has championed various health programs, including free annual medical check-ups, cancer screenings, dental care, and eye examinations. Yishawu has also proposed initiatives such as a health insurance scheme and free rotavirus vaccines for children, which have been adopted as government policy.

The Lagos Patient Bill of Rights, which he proposed, is currently under consideration. Yishawu emphasizes the importance of connecting legislative actions with the everyday needs of constituents, aiming to alleviate healthcare burdens and enhance overall health outcomes.
