The Upper East Regional Minister, Donatus Akamugri, has called for greater collaboration to improve healthcare delivery in the region while cautioning against misinformation about Ghana’s health insurance system.
He made the remarks while addressing members of the Private Health Facilities Association of Ghana at their annual dinner in Bolgatanga.
According to the Minister, public discussions about the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) must be grounded in facts rather than politics. He stressed that the scheme was established through deliberate policy planning and broad stakeholder consultation, not through individual efforts as sometimes portrayed.
“You’ve no idea how NHIS came about. Stop deceiving the public,” Mr Akamugri stated, urging commentators and political actors to avoid misinforming citizens about the origins and operations of the scheme.
