The Republic of Ghana Launches Nationwide Healthcare Digital App by OSD
Registration with the "MyNHIS" app requires an active internet connection and a national ID card. After completing the registration, users have access to an overview of their membership status, prescriptions, monthly payments and nearby NHIS-certified medical centers. This way, users of MyNHIS can manage their national health insurance membership from anywhere without a personal visit to a local NHIS office.
Citizens without prior NHIS membership can register for the app by entering their personal data, which will be cross-checked with the national civil register. "MyNHIS" also allows users to add friends and family members, making it easier to manage healthcare for the entire family or organisation. Payments for NHIS services can be made conveniently through the app using various methods, such as mobile money, credit card, and bank transfers. Furthermore, the app enables payments from foreign countries, making it simpler for Ghanaians living abroad to support their families back home.
With more than 30 million citizens, Ghana is among the four African nations with the highest density of cellular phone devices with connectivity. According to the latest surveys, more than 73 percent of citizens over the age of 12 years have access to a smartphone. "This was one of the main reasons for our decision to search for a trustworthy partner like OSD for the development of a digital health application. MyNHIS represents a significant step forward in our mission to make healthcare more accessible following the principle of 'leaving no one behind,'" Bernard Okoe-Boye states. "We are proud to partner with the NHIA for this lighthouse project," Schwendimann says. In the coming months, MyNHIS will be updated with additional features, and functionalities. "This enhancement will further improve the usability and efficiency for the government as well as all citizens," Schwendimann underlines.
