How to Register for NHIS in Ghana (First-Time Membership)

First-time NHIS registration in Ghana is how you join the National Health Insurance Scheme. The process is administrative: ID, photos, biometrics where required, and official fees — then you must renew to stay covered.

What to bring

  • Ghana Card / accepted ID

  • Contact details

  3. Capture biometrics if required.
  4. Pay and collect membership evidence / card as issued.
  5. Diary renewal — renewal guide.
