“No Health Facility Will Be Spared” – Mahama Warns Hospitals Over NHIS Charges

According to a report by GHOne TV on Saturday, November 7, 2026, President John Dramani Mahama has issued a strong warning to health facilities across the country against charging National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) patients unauthorised fees.

The President made it clear that his government will not spare any health facility found engaging in the practice of demanding additional payments from patients who are covered by the NHIS.

President Mahama stressed that the NHIS was established to make healthcare more accessible and affordable to Ghanaians. He indicated that it was unacceptable for patients to be asked to pay extra money for services that should already be covered under the insurance scheme.

According to the President, his administration is committed to strengthening the NHIS and ensuring that Ghanaians receive the full benefits of the programme without unnecessary financial burdens.

He warned that health facilities that violate the approved NHIS arrangements by charging patients unauthorised fees would face the necessary consequences. He also made it clear that no facility would be exempted from the enforcement measures.

The warning is expected to serve as a reminder to hospitals, clinics and other healthcare providers to follow the rules governing the NHIS and treat insured patients fairly.

President Mahama’s position suggests that the government intends to take a firmer approach towards addressing such complaints and protecting the interests of NHIS members.

His warning is also expected to bring relief to many Ghanaians who depend on the scheme to access healthcare without having to pay unnecessary out-of-pocket expenses.

The President has therefore sent a clear message to healthcare providers that charging NHIS patients unauthorised fees will not be tolerated under his administration.
