The National Health Insurance Scheme currently covers only breast and cervical cancers.

“Prostate and child cancer treatment will be covered by the National Health Insurance Scheme if government plans to put more resources into the NHIS this year materialized” he revealed in Kumasi.

Mr. Agyemang Manu explained the move forms part of government’s agenda to fight all forms of cancer diseases across the country as promised in the manifesto of the New Patriotic Party.

He said this at the opening of and the Executive Committee inaugural meeting of the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) in Kumasi.
