Abstract: Universal Health Coverage (UHC) refers the idea that all people should be able to use any health services they require without incurring financial hardship. It is a concept that the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations have been promoting in recent times as an essential health system goal and mechanism for sustainable development. Few low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have implemented UHC. The National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) of Ghana is one of the few examples and, as such, provides a unique opportunity to understand how UHC reforms may be designed and implemented to achieve the goals of UHC in LMICs.
