President Mahama: No Health Facility Will Be Spared for Charging NHIS Patients Unauthorised Fees

President John Dramani Mahama has warned that no health facility will be spared for charging National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) patients unauthorised fees.

The President’s warning signals a firm stance against the practice of extracting payments from patients who are covered by the NHIS, which is intended to provide financial protection and access to healthcare. He made it clear that facilities found engaging in the collection of unauthorised fees will face consequences, regardless of their status or location.

President Mahama’s warning places health facilities across the country on notice that compliance with NHIS regulations will be enforced. It also reassures patients that the government is committed to safeguarding their rights under the scheme.

The warning is likely to be welcomed by patients and health sector stakeholders who have long complained about illegal charges. It also raises expectations that the government will back its words with monitoring and enforcement action against offending facilities.

President Mahama’s declaration reaffirms the government’s commitment to the integrity of the NHIS and to ensuring that Ghanaians receive the healthcare they are entitled to without unauthorised financial burden.
