Dr Mark Kurt Nawaane, the Chairman of Parliament’s Health Committee, has praised the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) for swiftly disbursing insurance claims. The swift payments, he said, could enable timely treatment and lessen the financial strain on patients. The NHIA disclosed that it processed GH¢27.8 million in claims in 2025, and paid GH¢83.1 million in the last two quarters of 2026.
