The incoming New Patriotic Party (NPP) government has been urged to put in place the necessary mechanisms to resuscitate the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) which some say has not been working effectively.<\/p>\n
A Coalition of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in the Upper East Region, which made the call as part of this year\u2019s third World Universal Health Coverage Day celebration indicated that an effective and efficient health insurance scheme would be more viable and make health care accessible and appealing to subscribers.<\/p>\n
The CSOs including the Alliance for Reproductive Health Rights (ARHR), ISODEC, SEND Ghana, the Coalition of NGOs in Health, and Mission of Hope which have shouldered the responsibility to champion Universal Access to Health Care Campaigns, made the call in a communiqu\u00e9 issued to the Upper East Regional Coordinating Council in Bolgatanga and copied to the press on Monday.<\/p>\n
