The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) has announced the disbursement of GH¢550 million to health facilities for the payment of claims.
According to the Authority, the recent uncapping of NHIA funds is expected to facilitate the prompt payment of claims going forward.
Chief Executive Officer of the NHIA, Dr. Victor Bampoe, expressed optimism about the scheme’s outlook.
“The President has instructed the Finance Minister to release, within 30 days, the funds accrued to the National Health Insurance Scheme. We expect to receive funds more regularly, so we can, in turn, pay service providers promptly,” he stated.
Meanwhile, the NHIA has indicated that it will expand its free dialysis programme to provide greater access to life-saving treatment for renal patients across the country.
As part of the initiative, the NHIA will procure additional dialysis machines and essential consumables for healthcare facilities nationwide.
The expansion is in line with the government’s broader strategy to improve access to critical healthcare services.
Chief Executive Officer of the NHIA, Dr. Victor Bampoe, explained that the programme aims to include more patients suffering from kidney conditions under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
