The visit, led by captain Thomas Partey, included a congratulatory note to Dr. Aboagye on his new role and appreciation for the NHIA’s efforts in enhancing healthcare benefits.
The Black Stars expressed their gratitude to the NHIA for the improved health benefits and pledged to collaborate with the authority to promote wellness and healthy habits through sports and exercise.
The players emphasised the importance of this partnership in fostering a healthier community.
Dr. Aboagye, in turn, thanked the team for their support and encouraged them to become advocates for the NHIA and the broader health sector.
