Dr Bawumia Announces The Fulfillment Of A Manifesto Promise He Made To Ghanaians

This afternoon His Excellency Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia today announced the fulfillment of a manifesto promise, that is, a decision to include childhood cancer treatment expenses on the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) at a stakeholder meeting in Accra.

This was a promise made by the now Nana Addo-Dr. Bawumia government while they were gunning for a second term in office.

Also, the cost of Hydroxyurea, an essential drug for the treatment of sickle cell anemias now covered by NHIS.

These health decisions are important to deal with the sickness and also the financial burden on families of children with cancer and people living with sickle cell will be drastically reduced while receiving treatment.

He lastly commends the First Lady, H.E Rebecca Akufo-Addo, the Minister and Ministry of Health, the Board Chair of NHIA and his team, the CEO of NHIA, World Child Cancer, Roche, and all collaborators for helping to achieve this life-saving initiative.
