Even so-called intelligent people become fools when they join the buga buga party. The social intervention of NHIS is Kuffours baby, full stop (ndc fool, stop). The records don't lie.

We know it was the Catholic Church which started the piloted scheme at Nkoraza and Kuffour government made it government policy. NDC promised one term payment but they failed and nearly collapse the scheme.

Dr. Serebour you are a dishonest man to it was Pres. Kufour who pilotted the NHIS in Ghana. True President Kufour implemented the policy, it was J.J Rawlings' under NDC which piloted it at Nkoranza and Damango; facts are sacred but opinion remains opinion.
Secondly President started Mutual Health Insurance which limited beneficiaries to their various Districts. For instance I was with Ablekuma sub-Metro then. Infact I still have my card.
Finally it was Professor Mills who upgraded the scheme to Natinal Health insurance where one can use the card anywhere in Ghana. These are the facts. You are a respected Medical Officer so please stay to the facts.

Mr GMA President I now know the reason why we have stupid people in the realm of affairs of this country. I quit remember what Kufour implemented was MHIS mutual health insurance which only operate within your district before Atta Mills upgraded it after 2010 into NHIS so stupidly don’t come and deceive us

I am sure Dr. Serebour is old enough to tell the truth. Let be frank, former president Rawlings started to Implement NHIS on pilot basis. I think it started at Dodowa (if I am wrong). It was on pilot basis during Rawlings Era. Kufour came and fully implemented it as Mutual Health Insurance (MHI) which covers only where you attend hospital. It was not National. The late Prof. Mills made it NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE SCHEME (NHIS) to cover all the nation, irrespective where you live. That means you can attend hospital at Wa, though, you live in Accra when holding NHIS card.

The NDC is only good for taking credit after the NPP has implemented it. The" NHIS" was implemented by the NPP under President Agyekum Kufour. During the previous NDC government which was under JJ Rawlings, many people died needlessly because of the cash and carry system. Those with money had care, and those without stayed and died at home.

You see how ignorant you are Maame Abenah. I hv been advocating for quite some time now, for history, as subject to be taught compulsorily in all schools in Ghana up to the tertiary level. A people without the knowledge about their country's history is a lost enterprise. How can Srebour disagree with Beyeo for stating the obvious? If only the former had taken his time and apprised himself with a little history of the genesis of our road to the NHIS scheme, he would have appreciated Beyeo's submissions. Let's learn the facts.

JB, learn your history oo Tom. JJ indeed piloted the scheme in in three districts in Ghana: Nkroanza and two others. Kufour picked on it and did the Mutual health scheme in all districts of Ghana. Atta Mills built on that to make it a true National Health Insurance Scheme. These are the bare facts. Facts are sacred!

Serebior you were a minion when things were started. Pilot schemes were set up in damongo, Nkoranza and other areas. When Kuffuor came the NHIS was started as district mutual health insurance schemes so one could access health within the scheme you registered.
The scheme was given a unified nature when under Mills the authority was created and this is what operates today.

In all large scale projects, piloting precedes scale-up. The pilots are necessary for studying the dynamics and learn from the pilot to inform the scale-up stage. Rawlings piloted, Kuffour scaled up the district levels, Mills made it universal so with one card you can visit any hospital wherever you are. Hither to, you will have to register at the district levels and so just imagine the number of cards one will carry around. All the leaders contributed to it's evolution to the current state. Let's drop this destructive politicking attitude and foster towards national goals not party sub-optimal goals.
