Wenchi, Dec 15, GNA- Dr Julius A. Dadobe, the Wenchi District Director of Ghana Health Services, has called on unit committees, assembly members, heads of departments and churches to assist in explaining the importance of health insurance to the people.

''The scheme will also enable more people to get medical care at reasonable cost,'' he added.
