The Ministry of Health has clarified that the recent announcement regarding a mandatory health insurance policy for non-Ghanaian residents visitors is a proposal by the National Health Insurance Scheme and not a policy by the government.
A statement from the Ministry and signed by the Minister of Health, Dr Okoe Boye indicated that even though the proposal by the NHIA is to ensure that foreign nationals have easy access to healthcare, it has not been discussed or approved by cabinet.
The statement urged the general public to disregard the misinformation that may suggest that the policy has been finalized and its mode of implementation settled.
Adding that the implementation of the proposal will be thoroughly scrutinized and taken through the necessary protocols to establish its benefits fir the people of Ghana before being settled on.
Graphic Online reported that Foreign nationals who come to Ghana will have to take compulsory health Insurance between $45 to $270 before they are admitted into the country.
This initiative according to the report will be started on July 1, 2024, according to a report by Graphic Online.
