The government has released an amount of GH¢50 million to the National Health Insurance Scheme, according to the Majority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh.
The amount is part of the budgetary allocation of the scheme for the year.
Earlier in the month, the Minority Caucus in Parliament bemoaned the effects of fund capping and the undue delay in releases to the scheme for its operations.
Speaking to Citi News, the Majority Chief Whip, indicated that the Scheme is one of the beneficiaries of the latest financial release from the government.
“Not just the GH¢25 million goods and services. There was also a release of GH¢50 million to the NHIS,” Mr. Annoh Domreh said.
“And that has been confirmed by the Controller and NHIA has also accordingly confirmed the amount,” he added.
