OBJECTIVES OF THE NHIS MEMBERSHIP CARD REGISTRATION EXERCISE

• To increase NHIS coverage among children in various communities.
• To facilitate both new registrations and renewals of NHIS cards for children.
• To enhance awareness of the importance of health insurance in underserved communities.

• Strengthen collaboration between Hereafter Ghana and relevant government institutions involved in social protection and healthcare access.

ACTIVITY

The NHIS registration was done in two phases for each community. The first phase consisted of identifying and collecting data on potential beneficiaries’ information. The data collection exercise was conducted over days. During this period, the Hereafter Ghana team and community volunteers engaged community members and collected the necessary data from individuals who required either fresh NHIS registration or renewal of their existing memberships.

The second phase involved the actual registration where NHIS officers were brought to the communities to register new members onto the NHIS and renew cards to ensure validity for its usage.
