The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HoCSF), Folasade Yemi-Esan, yesterday charged Health Maintenance Organisations (HMOs) to devise better ways of providing civil servants with quality and affordable healthcare delivery services.

She gave the charge in Abuja while declaring open, an interactive session with HMOs.

The HoCSF, represented by Permanent Secretary, Service Welfare Office, Mahmud Adam Kambari, said civil servants’ health could no longer be taken for granted as “they die on a daily basis” from preventable and curable ailments.
