West Akim Municipal Assembly (WAMA) on Friday 3rd November, 2023 presented support items to Forty(40) persons with disability to make them economically viable.
He encouraged members to inform others about such privileges since not all persons with disability were registered in the indigent register.
He urged members to call on the social welfare office to be assisted to renew their cards.
He admonished them not to wait until they were sick before they seek medical attention, adding that the renewal of the card must not be effected after complete expiration.
The director bemoaned that the challenge the office faced was the PWDs who failed to present their cards for renewal 3 months to expiry date as stipulated.
The director said management was still devising a way to get them enrolled but until then NHIS secretariat would not be able to be in their homes for the registration owing to the set- up of the gadgets.
A total of 26 PWDs were declared as indegents with a break down of 25 for renewal and 1 for registration.
