In the statement signed by the Chief Executive of the NHIA, Dr Da-Costa Aboagye, the Authority said this payment is part of the NHIA’s mission to provide high-quality healthcare services to all citizens in Ghana.

“This is in fulfillment of the NHIA’s mandate and ensures the continued provision of quality healthcare services to all citizens.”

According to the NHIA, healthcare facilities who wish to confirm their payment can visit the NHIA website on nhis.gov.gh/payments.

Management of the NHIA expressed gratitude to all the healthcare facilities that have been approved to provide healthcare services for their dedication to the well-being of communities and wishes all workers a Happy May Day.
