The Chief Executive of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), Dr. Da-Costa Aboagye, announced that dialysis services will now be permanently included in the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).

This decision follows successful pilot programs providing varying dialysis sessions for different age groups.
