Achieving a Shared Goal: Free Universal Health Care in Ghana

The current health system in Ghana is unfair and inefficient. Coverage of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) has been hugely exaggerated, and could be as low as 18%. Instead that most people are having to continue to pay out-of-pocket for their health care in a parallel “cash-and-carry” system. The government can and should move fast to implement free health care for all citizens.
