Goripie (UW/R), Oct. 13, GNA – Former President John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has promised Ghanaians an insurance-free primary healthcare, if he is voted into power on December 7, 2024.
He said healthcare access at the Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) facilities, Health Centres, Clinics and Polyclinics would not require an active National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) membership card of the client.
Mr Mahama announced this at the weekend at Goripie, a community in the Wa East District, during his campaign tour of the Upper West Region.
He indicated that the initiative would form part of his grand agenda of ensuring healthy lives of Ghanaians through his proposed “Community Healthcare Programme”.
The former President said, under the programme, an active NHIS membership card would only be required of a patient seeking healthcare services at the secondary health facilities including the district and regional hospitals and those in tertiary institutions.
