She explained that the health scheme is an initiative of the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar to provide the retired officers and their spouses with quality and sustainable healthcare services irrespective of their rank as at the time of retirement.
She further explained that the scheme is covered by the Police Health Maintenance organization HMO Code 073 and it is absolutely free without any form of deduction from the retirees’ pension.
