Ghana’s NHIS: Ensuring Access to Malaria Services with Financial Protection
Malaria is a major cause of disease burden and poverty in Ghana and is the number one cause of morbidity and mortality of children under 5, making universal access to appropriate interventions for all populations at risk of malaria in Ghana a key health sector goal. Ghana’s National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) provides access to essential health services with financial protection for a large and growing share of the country’s population.
