Troops Advised to Secure Families’ Health Insurance Before Deployment
The Theatre Commander of the Joint Task Force, Operation Fansan Yamma, Major General Oluyinka Soyele, has urged troops preparing for operations to ensure their families are well-informed about available health insurance schemes before deployment.
General Soyele made this call during a courtesy visit by the State Manager of Defence Health Management Limited (DHML), Colonel Abdullahi Gambo (retired), on February 12, 2025, in Gusau, Zamfara State. He emphasized that the well-being of both troops and their families is critical to maintaining focus during military operations.
“The health of our personnel and their families should not be a source of distraction on the battlefield. Troops must take full advantage of health insurance options to guarantee their families’ well-being while they serve,” he stated.
