It was a surprise to Journalists in Plateau State when they were informed that, the Three (3) Senators from the state, representing the Northern, Central and Southern zones of the state and 7 Members in the House of Representatives have refused to buy-in into calls to secure the health of their constituency by the Plateau State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency (PLASCHEMA).

This disclosure came during an interface of PLASCHEMA and the Media, tagged: “Securing Community Sustainability, The Media Experience”, at crest hotel today, 29^th April, 2022.

While interrogating the Agency and its operation in the 17 local Government Areas by Journalists, the Director General (D-G), Dr. Fabong J. Yidam, lamented over the effect of poverty on the young and elderly in the state and the refusal of the state’s elected political representatives to help.

He said, “Apart from, Rt. Hon. Maje in the House of Representative, other members and the Three Senators from Plateau State, have refused to help their constituents, health wise. They rather prefer to give them bore holes”.

You would recall that, PLASCHEMA as an Agency of the Plateau State Government was established with the goal of ensuring that, residents in the state have adequate access to quality and affordable healthcare services when the need arises.
