Financing healthcare services: a qualitative assessment of private health insurance schemes in Ghana
The study assesses Ghana's PHI sector, highlighting its critical role in financing healthcare in Ghana. Findings reveal PHIS's diverse packages and flexible payments boost healthcare access and quality. We, therefore, recommend PHIS foster partnerships with National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) accredited facilities, reduce non-payment risks, and ensure transparency to foster trust and accurate risk assessment, promoting sustainable growth and reliability in Ghana's Private Health Insurance (PHI) industry.
