Dr. DaCosta Aboagye, Chief Executive Officer of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), recently chaired a high-level strategic meeting with officials from the United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO-UK) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

The meeting focused on advancing the National Health Insurance Scheme's (NHIS) Annual Health Check programme, a key initiative within the Preventive and Promotive healthcare delivery service.

The collaborative discussions aimed to explore innovative strategies for strengthening preventive healthcare in Ghana, aligning with the NHIA’s goal to reduce preventable diseases and promote early detection across the country.
