Abstract
The health sector is an important sector where health insurance scheme is an integral part. The magnitude of local community’s involvement towards the enhancement of health insurance schemes is of great consequence to the upgrading of the health sector, the development of a national healthy population and an improved economic transformation. The study covered 75 hospitals in Ghana. This study uses a regression analysis to comprehensively assess and analyze the level of local community involvement to improve health insurance scheme in Ghana. The findings revealed that the local community is involved in the enhancement of health insurance schemes when there is an appreciation in their income levels. Implying for health insurance schemes to flourish then the income levels should be high which eventually results in a productive economy.
