Give a child in Ghana 10years Health insurance.

INTRODUCTION

The One Child, One NHIS initiative is a flagship program at Hereafter Ghana aimed at facilitating access to healthcare for children, pregnant women and the aged by ensuring that every child, pregnant women and the aged in our target communities is registered under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).

In the third quarter, Hereafter Ghana visited two (2) communities namely Jantong Wulanyili and Kumbung Zoonayili in the Salga North District and Kumbungu District.

This report outlines the number of beneficiaries of each community and the total number of beneficiaries reached through the program. The report also outlines some key challenges faced by the team during the registration process.
