EDUCATE MEMBERS TO ENSURE BETTER SERVICE DELIVERY (PAGE 40)

THE Volta Regional Manager of the State Insurance Company (SIC), Mr Richard Fenuku-Doamekpor, has stressed the need for the Ghana Insurers Association (GIA) to educate its members to ensure better service delivery to the public.
He said education was crucial to the individual insurers because it would enhance their capacity to educate others and even market themselves better.
Mr Fenuku-Doamekpor said this when he addressed representatives of insurance companies to mark the insurance night of the national insurance week at the Steven's Hotel in Ho.
He said the association should protect and advance the common interest of insurers and re-insurers transacting insurance business in the country, adding that it was pertinent to promote and maintain efficient standards, honour, discipline and integrity among members.
He stressed the need for the promotion of good relations among insurers and re-insurers and the need to harmonise and simplify the wording of policies in the insurance industry.
Mr Fenuku-Doamekpor said the creation of awareness and better understanding in insurance and the promotion of insurance education in the country would lead to a better economy.
He advocated the promotion of retention of premiums in the country by the two re-insurers and 35 insurers made up of 16 life companies and 19 non-life companies in the country.
