On 1 April the Centre for Health Policy at the Institute of Global Health Innovation (IGHI) hosted a delegation from Ghana’s National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). The dozen-strong delegation worked across partnerships, research, policy, monitoring and evaluation, health purchasing, ICT, financing, and health services in Ghana.
The visit to the Institute by the delegation was part of a fact-finding mission to the UK organised by the NHS Consortium for Global Health with the goal of understanding the UK health financing and payment systems.
