Universal Access to Healthcare Campaign, Ghana

Universal Access to Healthcare Campaign, Ghana In some cases people live more than 60km from a health facility. It is estimated that nationally, about 60% of the population has access to health facilities.

The Universal Access to Healthcare Campaign has been advocating for the government of Ghana to make healthcare accessible for all Ghanaians through the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) The Universal Access to Healthcare Campaign (UAHCC) is a national campaign driven by a network of local and international NGOs including the Alliance for Reproductive Health Rights (ARHR), ISODEC, Essential S

ervice Platform, SEND Ghana, and Coalition of NGOs in Health and Oxfam in Ghana. Health Care is uneven and unequal in Ghana: Access to effective health interventions is low, particularly for the poorest, resulting in unnecessary high morbidity and mortality. However, among the rural population this figure is much lower; only 37% live within one hour travel time (by any available means) from the health facility. A key goal of the UAHCC has been to get the Government of Ghana to legislate on quality and accessible universal healthcare for all; free at the point of use, with identified new sources of funding coming from tax and innovative finance mechanisms by 2030.
