Abstract:
In 2008, the government of Ghana introduced the Free Maternal Healthcare Policy (FMHCP) under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) to actualize the country’s Universal Health Coverage (UHC) goal. The FMHCP aimed to remove financial barriers preventing women’s access to maternal and neonatal healthcare services.
