Abstract:
This paper examines the development of National Health Insurance (NHI) policy in Ghana and Canada using the multiple streams framework (MSF) as the theoretical lens. It undertakes a diachronic case study by comparing how Ghana and Canada eventually adopted national health insurance as a health care policy reform. The two countries introduced universal health care policy reforms, which, in the case of Ghana, necessitated the advent of the NHI policy in 2003. Though the two countries have different institutional settings, they both succeeded in their health care reforms. The study contends that

Amidst high burden of infectious diseases, undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are predicted to become the leading cause of death in Ghana by 2030.

Abstract:
Since the introduction of the user fee system of healthcare financing in 1969 and its subsequent modifications, the burden of healthcare expenditure on residents of Ghana created health inequality. This system encouraged the poor and vulnerable to have limited access to essential drugs and services. Policy entrepreneurs contributed to raising awareness about the poor and vulnerable people in Ghana not having access to health due to the user fee system as a public policy problem.

Abstract This paper focuses on the policy responses of Ghana’s government with a focus on three areas: health, economic, and social. Ghana had made several policy interventions in these three areas. The study highlighted the adoption of the 3T-approach in health, CAP-20 in economics, and free water and subsidized electricity for citizens as social interventions. The study concludes that the measures undertaken by the Government of Ghana have yielded significant results even though some challenges with delivery mechanisms are identified.

Rapid ageing of populations globally following reductions in fertility and mortality rates has become one of the most significant demographic features in recent decades.

Older persons in these contexts often face greater health challenges and various life circumstances including role loss, retirement, irregular incomes and widowhood, which can increase their d

Equitable allocation of health care resources is crucial for promoting health equity.

Abstract:
Extending coverage to the informal sector is a key challenge to achieving universal coverage through contributory health insurance schemes. Ghana introduced a mandatory National Health Insurance scheme in 2004 to provide financial protection for both the formal and informal sectors through a combination of taxes and annual premium payments. As part of its election campaign in 2008, the current government (then in opposition) promised to make the payment of premium "one-time". This has been a very controversial policy issue in Ghana.

Further, although FP was included in the health insurance act passed in 2003, amended in 2008, and revised in 2012, which indicated that health-care benefits include FP, people continue to pay out of pocket for services
