Health facilities charging NHIS patients unlawfully will be dealt with – Mahama

President John Mahama has warned that health facilities found charging patients additional fees outside approved National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) arrangements will face sanctions. He says the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) is conducting monitoring exercises across health facilities to identify those demanding extra payments from patients despite their presentation of valid NHIS cards.

He added that the government is strengthening healthcare delivery through a new health architecture integrating Free Primary Healthcare, the uncapped NHIS and the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, also known as MahamaCares.
