Medical checkups are not only advised before marriage, but enrolling  in a health Insurance Scheme  will help to guarantee  blissful  and  avoid unwanted, unneeded health, stress and problems later in marriage.

 

The Director-General of the Kaduna state  Contributory health management Authority (KADCHMA),  Mr Abubakar Hassan, made this known during a two day media roundtable funded by Save the Children Nigeria held in Zaria.

 

 

According to him, it will be a wonderful thing for Kaduna State Government to enact Law that will ensure that couples are enrolled in the  Health insurance before qualify for  marriage.

 

He  explained that couple who can save huge money for weddings which lasted for a short time, should be made to  also enrol in the state health insurance scheme.

 

Hassan stressed that many Health challenges that would have been paid for through out of pocket expenditure, said the future of the marriage is safe as all health payments will be addressed through the enrollment.

 

The DG  disclosed that 80%of  Kaduna residents still pay for healthcare from pocket, therefore said, his Authority will present the idea to the State Governor for consideration.
