The Minister of Health has called for the expedited approval of the allocation formula for the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) for 2025, which is projected at GH¢9.93 billion. During a recent parliamentary session, the Minister emphasized that timely funding is crucial for enhancing healthcare delivery across the nation. He highlighted that a swift resolution to the allocation formula will enable better resource distribution and ensure that healthcare facilities can adequately serve their communities.
Addressing members of Parliament, he stressed that delays in finalizing this financial framework could hinder ongoing health initiatives and negatively impact patient care.
