He indicated that,“In Ghana, so far,the NHIS does not even cover 40 per cent of the population. Between 2017-2019 – the NHIS recorded an increase of 0.8 per cent in coverage over the three year period.

“If you contrast this with the estimated 6.6 per cent increase in the population of Ghana over the same period, you will understand why the NPP’s promise in this election to use the NHIS to achieve the SDG3, Health for All Ghanaians, within the next nine years cannot be trusted and must be rejected by the electorate,”
