‘No Ghanaian should pay’ – Health Minister warns health workers against charging for Free Primary Healthcare
Minister for Health Kwabena Mintah Akandoh has warned health workers against demanding payment from patients for services covered under the government's Free Primary Healthcare programme.
Speaking at a press conference on the commencement of the programme, Mr Akandoh stressed that Ghanaians accessing services covered under the Free Primary Healthcare package should not be made to pay.
He explained that the Free Primary Healthcare initiative is not equivalent to free universal hospital care, as its services are limited to the primary healthcare level.
