Ghana’s Health Insurance system is the best in the world – Dr. Nsiah Asare

Advisor on Health at the Presidency, Dr. Anthony Nsiah Asare has described Ghana’s Health Insurance scheme as one of the best schemes in the world with few countries practicing the same.

“The kind of health insurance Ghana has is a social health insurance scheme. The kind of health insurance system we have in the country is unique. Countries that have similar insurance schemes and have been successful in its implementation are Thailand, Korea among few” Dr. Anthony Nsiah Asare told Hello FM in Kumasi in an interview monitored by MyNewsGH.com.

According to him, even countries like the United Kingdom (UK) which is far advanced in health care does not have a good system as compared to that of what Ghana is practicing.

He added that Ghana is now moving towards a universal insurance coverage therefore the introduction of Ghana Card where every card bearer would automatically be enrolled on the scheme.

Dr. Nsiah Asare, the former Ghana Health Service (GHS) boss also revealed that, currently there are 22 million Ghanaians who have registered with the insurance scheme with 12 million active members which show an improvement of 9 million active members the previous NDC administration left for the country.

Dr. Nsiah Asare’s high rating of the scheme is aimed at rebuffing claims by a section of Ghanaians that the the National Health Insurance Scheme is on the verge of collapse.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them. Related Posts Quoting a Scripture from Matthew, Papa Shee mentioned that no one should refer to a man as his/her spiritual father because the word speaks against it.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to.
