The current medical insurance cover for the staff and management of NARI has been revised to make it more accessible and affordable. This was announced on December 17 during the Christmas Party at the Allan Quartermain Hall by the Director General Dr.Nelson Simbiken. Currently, staff are required to pay medical expenses in full then get an 80% reimbursement from the insurance company. This is an added burden to staff, who could not afford private medical services.
