He noted that the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) although a laudable scheme, its implementation could be improved to serve the beneficiaries better.<\/p>\n
Mr Yieleh Chireh said thjis during the signing of an Aide Memoir between the Ministry of Health and its development partners in Accra.<\/p>\n
He said the Memoir was of great relevance, as a follow up to the recently held health summit in Accra, adding \u201cThis\u00a0 Memoir would ensure that we handle the pertinent issues we discussed with the urgency required\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Minister said\u00a0 the availability of drugs, as well as adequate financing in the health sector were some of the pertinent issues that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is why the signing of this Memoir is of great essence,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cWe in the Ministry would endeavour to strengthen our health systems\u201d.<\/p>\n
Dr Daniel Kertesz , World Health Organisation representative who signed for Ghana\u2019s development partners, said the health summit, that culminated in the signing of the Aide Memoir, was proof of the fact that conclusions reached at the summit would in due course be implemented.<\/p>\n
He pledged the continued\u00a0 support for Ghana\u2019s health sector and expressed the hope that there would be improvement in the implementation of initiatives within the sector in future.<\/p>\n
The Annual Health Summit\u00a0 was held in Accra from November 23-25, on the theme \u201cGoing Beyond Strategy to Action\u201d to facilitate\u00a0 planning and budgeting within the health sector\u00a0 for 2012.<\/p>\n
In addition, it was to strengthen health systems to accelerate the attainment of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).<\/p>\n
