The beneficiary, *Madam Amata Abdul Wahab*, received a cheque of *FIFTEEN THOUSAND GHANA CEDIS (GHC 15,000.00).* Madam Amata Abdul Wahab works at the Wa Municipal Hospital, in the ANC unit.

He stressed the need *to screen all nurses and midwives at least once a year and to cover one hundred percent (100%) of treatments for conditions outside the remit of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS),* emphasizing that the health of staff is paramount and a common interest. Mr. Sharif Yahuza, the Metro Secretary, also added that members should first seek health support from their facility through a formal letter from their Nurse Manager, with a copy of that letter sent to the GRNMA Wa Metro Secretariat.
