Chief of Staff Julius Debrah has announced that the government’s decision to uncap the National Health Insurance Levy will yield an additional GH₵3.4 billion for the National Health Insurance Fund by the end of 2025.
Speaking at a stakeholders’ conference organised by the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) in Accra, Mr. Debrah said the move, implemented under the Mahama administration, is aimed at boosting the financial sustainability of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
“Ten months into our administration, I am pleased to report that we have already uncapped the National Health Insurance Levy, which will make available an extra GH₵3.4 billion into the fund this year,” he stated.
He explained that the initiative will help clear delays in claims payments, enhance efficiency, and build stronger confidence among healthcare providers. So far, the NHIA has disbursed GH₵2.8 billion to service providers this year, with funds now being released more promptly to improve compliance and expand membership.
Mr. Debrah emphasized that the measure, alongside the Mahama Cares Programme, underscores government’s commitment to improving healthcare delivery and citizen well-being.
