The Alliance for Reproductive Health Rights (ARHR) has urged the government to provide clarity on its Free Primary Health Care program, questioning how it differs from the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
Speaking in an interview on TV, Benjamin Oppong-Twumasi, Program Manager for Policy and Budget Advocacy at ARHR, highlighted the ambiguity surrounding the new initiative.
He suggested that investing more in NHIS infrastructure and ensuring the timely disbursement of funds would have been a more effective approach. "We don't even know the difference between the Free Primary Health Care program announced by the government and the NHIS services already being provided.
We have been told that this new program will be limited, but when we compare it to NHIS, we don't see a clear distinction.
