In a significant healthcare announcement, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia revealed that starting December 1, 2024, kidney dialysis will be free for all patients covered by Ghana’s National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
This initiative follows a successful pilot program that offered free dialysis for patients under 18 and over 60, aiming to expand financial relief to all NHIS-covered individuals needing treatment.
Public response has been overwhelmingly positive, with prominent personalities like journalist Nana Aba Anamoah highlighting the program’s potential to ease burdens for many families.
Confirming the announcement, the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) stated that plans are in place to support the program’s launch.
Many social media users have expressed gratitude for this policy, seeing it as a crucial step toward improving healthcare access in Ghana. However, some remain curious about the sustainability and potential challenges as the program unfolds.
This expansion demonstrates the government’s ongoing commitment to affordable healthcare, with many eager to see its full impact in December and beyond.
