NHIS
The World Bank is the largest funding agency in support of Ghana’s initiative of introducing a comprehensive health insurance scheme throughout the country. Under a soft-loan substantial financial resources have been made available to the MoH to establish a nation-wide electronic network for future claim management, policy development and training. Under this Health Insurance Project (HIP) it is also possible for beneficiary organizations to fund specific projects through ‘Statement of Expenses’ (SOE). SOE may be used to finance any of the following activities:
- Development of policies;
- Development of project strategies;
- Implementation of project strategies;
- Preparation of project plans;
- Project monitoring and evaluation;
- Project communication;
- In-service training
Despite slow implementation of this project, all agencies providing care under the MOH (e.g. GHS, Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, the Ghana Armed Forces, the MOH and the NHIA itself) successfully managed to obtain funding following the first call for proposals. Needing more time to prepare a more comprehensive proposal as part of a longer term strategy, CHAG decided not to submit a proposal for the 1st round, but instead solicit for longer term funding. This proposal is now an integrated part of the 2009 AWP.
