Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has announced that starting December 1, 2024, the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) will provide free kidney dialysis for all patients.
He made this declaration on Sunday, November 10, during a campaign event in the Old Tafo constituency, emphasising the heavy financial burden kidney diseases place on Ghanaians.
“Six months ago, we introduced a pilot program under the NHIS to offer free dialysis for individuals over 60 and those under 18. This program has been successful, and we are now moving forward to make free dialysis available to all kidney patients from December 1,” Dr. Bawumia stated.
