The Ahafo Regional Minister, Charity Gardiner, has launched a free National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) registration exercise for underprivileged
The Ahafo Regional Minister, Charity Gardiner, has launched a free National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) registration exercise for underprivileged residents in the Asutifi North District to enhance access to quality healthcare services.
Speaking during a monitoring visit to Ntotroso, where she was accompanied by the District Chief Executive, Hafiz Dauda, the Minister said the initiative aims to register about 10,000 people as active NHIS members under the MahamaCares programme.
She explained that the exercise targets individuals who have never been enrolled on the scheme, as well as those whose memberships have lapsed due to financial constraints.
“The registration drive will cover all communities in the district. We want everyone, regardless of financial status, to have access to quality healthcare. This initiative will make that possible,” Mrs. Gardiner stated.
District Chief Executive Hafiz Dauda and Asutifi District NHIS Manager Joseph Sarkodie praised the Minister’s initiative and urged residents to take advantage of the free registration.
They added that the exercise will be extended to all 68 communities in the district, with a goal of enrolling 10,000 new members by the end of 2025.
“This is a commendable effort to ensure no one is left out of healthcare coverage,” they noted.
