President John Dramani Mahama has announced that the government will officially launch the Free Primary  Health Care Programme on April 15, 2026.

The initiative aims to remove financial barriers to basic health care, expand access at the community level, and strengthen preventive health services across the country.

Speaking on Monday, March 30, during an engagement with civil society organisations at the Jubilee House in Accra, President Mahama emphasised the critical role of CSOs in ensuring the success of the programme.

“I count on CSOs to support public education, assist us in monitoring implementation, and offer 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 populations, and enhance overall health outcomes nationwide.
