SSNIT launches healthcare scheme for members

Pensioners in Ghana will now have access to free medical healthcare through a new initiative launched by the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT). The SSNIT Telehealth Service is designed to bring healthcare services directly to the homes of pensioners enrolled in the SSNIT pension scheme.

This new service aims to improve the well-being of elderly citizens by offering convenient access to medical consultations and care. By leveraging telehealth technology, SSNIT seeks to reduce the challenges associated with frequent hospital visits, such as travel difficulties and long waiting times, particularly for those with mobility issues or living in remote areas.

The introduction of the SSNIT Telehealth Service is expected to enhance the quality of life for pensioners, ensuring they receive necessary medical attention without undue hardship. The program underscores SSNIT's commitment to supporting its members beyond traditional pension benefits.
