Estimating of the Costs and Potential Impacts of Including
Coverage of Permanent Methods of Contraception as a
Benefit of the National Health Insurance Plan of Ghana:
 Estimated costs, especially long-term net savings, of including
long-term family planning methods as covered services (i.e.,
pre-/post-natal care and hospital delivery (and infant care), costs
estimated to be lower after fertility rate lowered) in the health
benefits package of Ghana’s National Health Insurance
Program;
 Calculated the yearly and long-term benefits to Ghana’s NHI
program of offering such long-term family planning services as a
covered benefit; and
 Found that, within three years, the reduction of costs from
averted deliveries and averted new infant care more than offset
the cost of such contraceptive services to enable the NHI
Program to save US$ 25 million per year, and a rising annual
amount into the future.
