ARHR’s Universal Access to Healthcare Campaign, supported by Oxfam in Ghana and other CSOs, which was implemented from 2009 to 2022 advocated for the government of Ghana to legislate for quality and accessible universal healthcare for all, free at the point of use, with identified new sources of funding like tax and innovative finance mechanisms by 2030.
The Campaign was made up of local and international NGOs with a reach of over 500 members working on health-related issues across all the regions of Ghana. It employed strategies that included evidence generation, policy analysis, civil society mobilization, and media engagements to target the government.
The Campaign reviewed the National Health Insurance Scheme’s operations and recommendations were submitted to the Technical Review Committee set up by the Ministry of Health (MoH). Aspects of the recommendations made by the Campaign were considered in the final report submitted by the Technical Review Committee to the MoH for action.
