Nearly 260 million cedis have been paid to healthcare providers by the National Health Insurance Authority as part of the May 2025 insurance plan.
In addition to the more than 1 billion cedis the Authority has already paid to certified service providers this year, the new sum must be paid within 21 days of the month. The funds were distributed to mission, private, public, and quasi-public healthcare facilities nationwide.
Private service providers received over 104.6 million cedis, or 40% of the total, while public facilities received over 112.6 million cedis, or 43%.
Over 40 million cedis, or 15%, went to facilities in the mission category, while over 2.2 million cedis, or 1%, went to quasi-public facilities.
The NHIA said in a statement released on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, that the program is a component of its pledge to timely payment in order to improve healthcare service and preserve debt-free status.
“The significant disbursement demonstrates the NHIA’s unwavering commitment to sustaining the scheme and ensuring that healthcare providers are resourced and motivated to deliver quality services to cherished members,” portions of the statement read.
According to the Authority, it is still committed to increasing productivity and fulfilling its duties in order to guarantee that all Ghanaians have access to affordable, high-quality healthcare.
“We thank our stakeholders for their continued support and assure the public of our dedication to transparency, accountability, and timely payments,” the statement concluded.
