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.
