The National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) is leveraging the Ghana National Electronic Phar­macy Platform (E-pharmacy) to combat illegal charges, commonly referred to as co-payments.

Co-payment in the context of the NHIS involves NHIA-creden­tialled facilities charging scheme members for services and medica­tions paid for by the scheme.

The Chief Executive of the NHIA, Dr Da-Costa Aboagye, shared this information during a series of staff durbars held across the country, where he engaged with employees on enhancing the scheme and his welfare enhance­ment plans.

The most recent gathering took place last Friday at the Authority's head office in Accra.
