The Alliance for Reproductive Health Rights (ARHR) has called on the government to progressively increase its health sector budget allocation, so as to improve access to primary healthcare and address infrastructural deficits.
Speaking in an interview with GhanaWeb TV on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, the Program Manager, Policy and Budget Advocacy of ARHR, Benjamin Oppong-Twumasi, stressed that an increased and equitable health budget is essential for Ghana's journey towards achieving universal health coverage.
He added that the government's decision to uncap the National Health Insurance Levy is a good step but cautioned that newly-introduced policies could put a strain on available resources. "Government has increased allocation to the health sector, which we commend government for.
But then, there is more to it, which we have raised a lot of questions that we need government to clarify.
