Ring-fence COVID-19 Health Recovery Levy - CSOs urge govt

705 The government has been urged to ring fence the COVID-19 Health Recovery Levy Act, 2021 (Act 1068) which became effective on May 1, 2021 to ensure that the money actually goes into supporting Covid health related activities. The Coordinator, Policy and Advocacy at the Alliance for Reproductive Health Rights (ARHR), Mr Leonard Shang-Quartey, made the suggestion at a press briefing in Accra on June 29, 2021 on  the health sector portion of the national budget and implications for primary health care. “We are suggesting that we should make sure the money goes solely to support the provision of goods and services, and infrastructure that we need in our battle against Covid. So, anything that does not fall under these should not qualify or be accepted,” he said.

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.
