As part of its Medical Response Framework and commitment to the welfare of the hockey community, the Greater Accra Hockey Association (GAHA) successfully organised a free National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) registration and renewal exercise for its members and the wider hockey fraternity on 30th May 2026.
The exercise, conducted in collaboration with the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), provided players, coaches, technical officials, administrators, and supporters with convenient access to NHIS registration and renewal services. The initiative forms part of GAHA’s broader efforts to promote preventive healthcare and ensure that members have access to essential health services whenever the need arises.
The event attracted a significant number of participants from across the hockey community, who took advantage of the opportunity to either register for the first time or renew their expired NHIS memberships. NHIA officials were on hand to facilitate the process efficiently, ensuring a smooth and seamless experience for all attendees.
Speaking on the initiative, the General Secretary of GAHA (Mr. Isaac Graham ) reiterated that the health and wellbeing of its members remain a top priority. The Association believes that access to healthcare is a critical component of athlete welfare and is therefore committed to implementing programmes that support the physical, mental, and medical wellbeing of everyone involved in the sport.
The successful exercise marks another important step in the implementation of GAHA’s Medical Response Framework, which seeks to strengthen health preparedness, improve access to medical services, and foster a healthier hockey community in Greater Accra.
GAHA extends its appreciation to the National Health Insurance Authority and all participants who contributed to the success of the exercise and looks forward to rolling out more health-focused initiatives in the future.
