Why You Are Losing A Great Deal If You’ve Not Enrolled On NHIS
The PR Manager for the Manhyia District of the National Health Authority (NHIA), Frank Konadu Sarpong, has intimated that any Ghanaian yet to enrol onto the scheme is making considerable financial losses.
He explained, “Anyone who hasn’t enrolled in the healthcare scheme is essentially losing money when he pays for his healthcare services out of pocket.
“This is because they’re already contributing to it through various charges on services like restaurant visits, goods clearance at the harbour, and hotel stays; it’s prudent to register and enjoy the full benefits when needed.”
He therefore urged the public to take advantage of the initiative which demands little or nothing to register depending on the category they fall under.
According to him, informal sector workers pay no more than ¢50 premium while formal sector workers register at no cost due to their SSNIT contributions.
As of December 2024, the NHIA District had over 300,000 active subscribers. Throughout Ghana, he said there were 18.6 million active subscribers bearing cards by the end of 2024. Seventeen per cent of this figure were in the Ashanti Region.
