The National Health Insurance Authority’s (NHIA), Deputy Chief Executive Officer responsible for Operations, Louisa Atta-Agyemang (Mrs), on Tuesday, March 26, 2024, embarked on a three-day working visit to the Greater Accra and Volta Regions.
Beginning in the Greater Accra Region, she visited some selected health facility sites and also interacted with the management teams and frontline staff of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
