Minority accuses government of starving health sector, warns of growing public health crisis

Agyemang further criticised the pace of funding releases to the National Health Insurance Scheme, arguing that the government's decision to uncap the National Health Insurance Fund will have little impact if approved resources do not reach healthcare providers.

Kingsley Agyemang, says the government’s own 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review exposes a worrying gap between policy commitments and actual spending in the health sector.

He said the reduction in government-sponsored education programmes on television, radio, and other platforms has limited access to critical prevention information and contributed to rising health risks.
