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).

Her visit was a follow-up monitoring of some selected 40 NHIA Health Provider sites for the limited rollout of the NHIA Biometric Membership Authentication System (BMAS).

This is part of plans to fully deploy the solution nationwide to authenticate NHIS membership at all NHIA credentialed health provider sites, and the full nationwide rollout is expected to start in the middle of May 2024.

The BMAS is powered by the NHIA MIS Directorate in collaboration with Margins Ghana Limited and the Project Director is the Ag. Director, MIS, Daniel Blankson with Ag. Deputy Director, Business Systems, MIS, Joe Annor-Darkwah as the Project Coordinator.
