Requirements: PDF Reader, 2.0 MB
Overview: The Ghana National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) was established in 2003 to achieve the country s commitment of universal health coverage. The government has earmarked valueadded tax to finance NHIS in addition to a deduction from the Social Security and National Insurance Trust premium payment. However, the scheme has been running at a deficit since 2009 because of expanded coverage, increased service use, and a surge in expenditures. Consequently, the Ghana National Health Insurance Authority had to reduce its investment fund, borrow loans, and delay claims reimbursement to providers to fill the gap.
Ghana National Health Insurance Scheme: Improving Financial Sustainability Based on Expenditure Review provides policy recommendations on how to improve the efficiency and financial sustainability of the NHIS, based on health sector expenditures and NHIS claims expenditures review.
