President John Dramani Mahama has announced that the government will officially launch the Free Primary Healthcare Programme on April 15, 2026.
The initiative aims to eliminate financial barriers to basic healthcare, expand access at the community level, and strengthen preventive health services across the country.
Speaking during an engagement with civil society organisations at Jubilee House on March 30, the President highlighted the need for collaboration to ensure the programme’s success.
“I count on CSOs to support public education, assist in monitoring implementation, and provide feedback to ensure this programme achieves real impact,” he said.
The government expects the programme to significantly improve access to essential health services, particularly for vulnerable groups, while enhancing overall health outcomes nationwide.
