Health and Wellbeing Team (HWB)
Concept
Based on the idea that ’’Health is Wealth,” HWB has been designed to tackle health and general well-being challenges in the Onicha community. It generates health policies for OnAF, drives the general health and well-being of Ndi Onicha as well as ensures that the immediate environment is safe for the existence of members of the community. The activities of the HWB covers various areas.
Managing the Covid-19 Pandemic
The HWB Team ensures that Government Covid-19 updates at local, state, and national levels are provided to the Onitsha traditional community. The team works closely with the Anambra State Ministry of Health COVID-19 team and the Onitsha North Local Government Area COVID-19 team in planning and implementing COVID-19 vaccinations. HWB also ensures that events such as title taking and burials that attract a large number of persons are Covid-19 compliant.
Community Health Insurance Programme
HWB manages this programme which OnAF is promoting under the auspices of the Anambra State Health Insurance Scheme as implemented by the Anambra State Health Insurance Agency (ASHIA). Services provided by healthcare professionals registered with ASHIA span different medical fields. The insurance covers health issues to a certain extent in most of these fields. Besides advocacy and publicity, HWB undertakes enrollment, and case management via health advice.
