Prevent citizens right
A very disheartening situation where PRO of the scheme Nana Essilfie positions himself in front of the reception to scream at costumers and heckle them even in the attempt of clients to make an inquiry about the scheme is scaring Clients and gradually preventing people from accessing the scheme in a daily basis.

The health insurance cards have over the years proven to be a hot cake in a government health institution and therefor Government hospitals recommended patients to acquire it but acquiring that in the Tema Mutual Scheme is a survival of the fittest affair. Because clients have to wake up as early as 4 am to 5 am to go and cue at the premises in other to be part of the limited number of people to go through the process of the day.
