On 15th April, President Mahama will launch the Free Primary Health Care Programme-a key campaign promise. The Programme is designed to ensure universal healthcare for Ghanaians including 35% of the population who are not on the National Health Insurance Scheme. I spent the morning of Good Friday in the company of the Minister for Health, Hon Kwabena Mintah Akandoh to inspect 24,534 pieces of medical equipment to be distributed from next week to health facilities across the country to facilitate the role out of the Free Primary Healthcare programme. The equipment include 1. X Ray Machines 2. Vital sign monitors for checking blood pressure, temperature, etc. 3. Glucometers for measuring blood sugar levels for diabetes screening. 4. Baby incubators, radiant warmers, and oxygen concentrators for resuscitating newborns after delivery. 5. Patient monitors. 6. Infusion devices. 7. Laboratory analysers, etc. 8. Delivery beds. 9. Hospital beds 10. Ultra sound

SIM cards are already linked to the Ghana Card. According to the minister, the missing piece was that the biometric data collected was not verified against the biometric templates in the NIA database. A sample test of 2 million registrations by the NIA and NCA showed that more than 80% matched based on facial data. If that is the case, why must the entire exercise be redone? The minister’s response is that some of the Ghana Cards captured within that 80% are fake. However, he has not provided any indication of what proportion of the cards are actually fake. It should be straightforward to identify which cards do not match those issued by the NIA. Instead of correcting the anomalous registrations, the process is simply being pushed toward a complete redo. Only in Putogum Hwiegum could this happen, because many people will not ask for details. They will just say, “hmmm, hmmm,” and go and re-register.
