Implementation of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) in Ghana: Lessons for South Africa and Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Background: South Africa is having difficulties in rolling out the National Health Insurance(NHI) policy. There are ongoing arguments on whether the NHI will provide access to quality and equitable healthcare it is intended to and whether South Africa is ready to implement the policy. Many stakeholders believe the country needs more preparation if the policy will be successful. Ghana, on the other hand, has successfully implemented the National Health Insurance Scheme(NHIS) for over 15 years. Objective: This paper sought to explore the implementation of the NHIS in Ghana and the lessons South Africa and other low- and middle-income countries can learn from such a process. Methods: A scoping review was conducted using the Joanna Brigs Institute’s System for the Unified Management, Assessment and Review of Information (SUMARI) and Mendeley reference manager to manage the review process.
