A former Director-General of the Ghana Health Service, Prof. Agyeman Badu Akosa has advocated the transfer of the management of the NHIL to an investment company.
He said if government hands over the fund to a private investment company it will ensure the sustainability of the fund.
The National Health Insurance Levy is currently being managed by the Health Insurance Authority.
But Prof. Akosa says the authority is unable to adequately manage the fund.
That, he said is because the NIA is already burdened with its core duty of regulating the entire scheme.
According to him the fund can only be sustained if it is given to professional fund managers.
