The National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) remains one of the most important social interventions in Ghana's healthcare system.
For many Ghanaians, it is a lifeline that removes the financial burden of paying for basic healthcare out of pocket.
But while many people own an NHIS card, not everyone is fully aware of what it covers and what it doesn't.
With a valid NHIS card, patients can access both out-patient and in-patient services at accredited hospitals and health centres.
