"In a major win for women’s reproductive rights, Ghana’s National Health
Insurance Program has expanded to include free long-term contraception from 1
January 2022. The move will allow millions of women of reproductive age who are
already covered by national health insurance to avoid paying out of pocket for
family planning methods such as the implant, coil and injections. It comes
after a two-year pilot study found that including family planning services in
health benefits packages resulted in a greater uptake of long-term
contraception and future government savings in direct care costs.
“We are excited that at long last, long-term family planning methods are
included in the National Health Insurance Scheme,” said Abena Adubea Amoah, the
Executive Director of the Planned Parenthood of Ghana (PPAG), an IPPF Member
Association. “This means long time peace of mind for women, girls and their
families with potential positive impact on their health and economic life.”"
