Dorcas Affo-Toffey, Member of Parliament for Jomoro, has commenced the second phase of a free National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) registration and renewal exercise on Thursday, May 14, 2026, in Jomoro. The exercise is aimed at expanding healthcare access for residents across the constituency.

Communities benefiting from the second phase include Tikobo No. 1, Jaway Wharf, Sowdadzem, Elubo, Tikobo No. 2, Ahobre 1 & 2, Takinta, Egbazo, and Abusuazo.

The team is expected to continue to Jaway Wharf on Saturday, May 16, before moving to Sowdadzem on Monday, May 18, and Elubo on Tuesday, May 19, 2026. Tikobo No. 2 will host the exercise on Thursday, May 21, while Ahobre 1 & 2, Tak
