The National Health Insurance Scheme card will be phased out at the end of 2021 and its features and functions will be replaced with the Ghana Card.
This was announced at a forum by the Ashanti Regional Director of the NHIA, Mr Kwadwo Tweneboa-Kodua at a mid-year review meeting.
The National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) cardholders enable subscribers to access healthcare services in public facilities and some private institutions.
“In line with the government’s agenda on digitisation, the NHIA has deployed a number of digital solutions to bring about efficiency and effectiveness in its service delivery to all Ghanaians.
“I would, therefore, challenge management and staff of NHIA district offices to intensify education on the use of the mobile renewal service code of *929#, so that NHIS members can easily renew their membership at their convenience and comfort,” Mr Tweneboa-Kodua said.
