The Ghana Ministry of Health in 2020 developed a Roadmap for attaining Universal Health Coverage, which emphasised the importance of ensuring universal access to quality health care for all residents. The act of parliament (Act 650) that approved the National Health Insurance Scheme and Authority for Ghana was passed in 2003 as part of a scheme to improve financing of health services and to reduce the burden on the population occasioned by an existing policy of out-of-pocket payment for services initiated in the mid 1990s. It was revised by parliament through Act 852 in 2012. The National Health Insurance Scheme and its managing Authority was founded in 2004 and is now fully established as a major source of financing for health care in Ghana, with funding from both premium contributions and a general NHIS levy on Value Added Tax. It was estimated to cover approximately 35.8% of the population in 2018, which was a decline from 2016 coverage which was reported at about 40% of the population.
