The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) has continued its support for the National Pensioners Association (NPA) by presenting a cheque of GH¢1 million.

This donation is specifically aimed at supporting the healthcare of pensioners enrolled on the NPA’s Pensioners Medical Scheme (PMS).

This contribution is in fulfilment of a commitment by SSNIT’s Management made in 2017 to prioritise the well-being of pensioners under the SSNIT Scheme in the country.

The Trust has previously demonstrated its commitment to supporting the NPA. In 2018 and 2019, SSNIT presented amounts of GH¢300,000.00 and GH¢500,000.00 respectively to support the Pensioners Medical Scheme.

Also in 2021, the NPA received a brand new Toyota Hilux double cabin pickup vehicle from SSNIT to address transportation challenges faced by its members.

Director-General of SSNIT, Dr. John Ofori-Tenkorang, reaffirmed the Trust’s support towards the activities and welfare of the Association.

He explained that the value SSNIT places on pensioners has guided and helped the Trust to strengthen the relationship that exists between SSNIT and the NPA over the past years.

“This latest donation to the Association will certainly not be the end. We will periodically extend help to you whenever possible as part of our social responsibility to make life a little more comfortable for you,our cherished pensioners.”

The General Secretary of the NPA, Mr. Stephen Boakye, expressed appreciation to Management of SSNIT for their continuous support of the Pensioners Medical Scheme.

He acknowledged the cordial relationship between the NPA and SSNIT, particularly under the current Management of SSNIT and assured that the funds would be used for its intended purpose.

A beneficiary, Mr. Confidence KofiAdjayi, highlighted the supportive role of the Pensioner Medical Scheme in his healthcare journey. He emphasised that the Scheme has consistently covered his medical expenses, particularly for eye care, whenever he visited the hospital.
