Alliance for Reproductive Health calls for universal health coverage

Graphic Online BY: Graphic.com.gh 705 The Alliance for Reproductive Health Rights has raised concerns about the number of Ghanaians who do not have access to health care due to poverty. To this end, the group has called for the implementation of what it describes as Free Healthcare at the point of need to make it accessible to all. In a statement to mark International Universal Health Coverage, UHC Day, Policy and Advocacy Coordinator of the Alliance, Leonard Shang-Quartey said the Free Healthcare at the point of need should be an improvement on the existing National Health Insurance Scheme, NHIS, to eliminate the financial element of registration and renewal, to enable all persons classified as extremely poor to benefit from it.
