Dr. Aboagye Dacosta welcomed the senior national team, the Black Stars, to his office. The team was led by Captain of the team, Thomas Partey. The discussions focused on fostering a strong partnership between the Black Stars and the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) by leveraging sports and physical activities to support preventive healthcare and reduce the prevalence of non-communicable diseases.
Dr. Dacosta emphasized the critical role that sports and physical activities play in maintaining good health and preventing diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular conditions. By promoting an active lifestyle, the NHIA aims to encourage more Ghanaians to engage in regular physical activities, which are essential for both physical and mental well-being. The collaboration with the Black Stars, a highly influential and respected team, provides a significant platform to amplify this message across the nation.
Captain Thomas Partey expressed his admiration for the NHIA’s initiatives, particularly the newly introduced free dialysis program. He noted that this program would have a profound impact on the lives of many Ghanaians, as it addresses a critical need for those suffering from kidney diseases. Dialysis treatment is often expensive and inaccessible for many individuals, so the NHIA’s program represents a significant step towards equitable healthcare.
In his remarks, Partey also congratulated Dr. Aboagye Dacosta on his appointment as the CEO of the NHIA. He expressed confidence that Dr. Dacosta’s leadership would bring about positive changes in Ghana’s healthcare system. Partey assured Dr. Dacosta of the Black Stars’ support in promoting health and wellness initiatives, acknowledging the important role athletes can play in inspiring the public to adopt healthier lifestyles.
On behalf of the NHIA, Dr. Aboagye Dacosta extended his best wishes to the Black Stars for their upcoming match. He emphasized the NHIA’s commitment to supporting the team, recognizing the significant role sports play in national pride and unity. Dr. Dacosta pledged that the NHIA would stand behind the Black Stars in their sporting endeavors and also in their efforts to promote health and wellness among Ghanaians.
The engagement between Dr. Aboagye Dacosta and the Black Stars represents a promising step towards a healthier Ghana. The NHIA’s innovative programs, combined with the Black Stars’ influence, can significantly impact public health by promoting active lifestyles and providing critical health services.
