Ghana’s Ministry of Finance has announced a GH¢10.7 billion (approximately $870 million USD) allocation for the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) in 2025. This funding includes GH¢6.5 billion earmarked specifically for settling outstanding claims to healthcare providers. The substantial investment is part of wider reforms aimed at bolstering the NHIS’s long-term financial stability. These reforms are also intended to facilitate the successful implementation of the Free Primary Healthcare program, expanding access to essential medical services. The government views a robust NHIS as crucial for achieving universal health coverage. Officials state the funding will address existing financial pressures within the scheme and ensure continued service delivery. This allocation signals a commitment to strengthening Ghana’s healthcare infrastructure and improving public health outcomes.
