Registration exercise at the Ghana Military Academy, Whistler Barracks, Teshie-Accra.

It is mandatory that cadets have valid NHIS cards at all Military Reception stations and other
Military Health Posts.

Officers from the Kpeshie NHIS district office set up there to register fresh cadets scheduled for
graduation in August, 2020.

Instructors and other officers and their family relations took advantage of the Special
Registration and joined the NHIS active membership.

In compliance with the COVID-19 protocols, social distancing was strictly adhered to at the
registration centre, where NHIS officers and the participants wore face masks.
