Have following you and few persons who have moved to ghana and must say in always encouraged. Having been planning to move bck home with my 9yrs old daughter and my twins of 6 years old after my wife passed away. I keep educating myself everyday and I'm glad about this international health policy. Cnt wait to call my insurance here tomorrow to find out more. Its very insightful and my daughter watches ur family keenly on RUclips
Thanks for the vid!! Im a primary care physician in Dallas, TX and thinking about dual citizenship with Ghana so this vid was perfectly timed! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing, I noticed that there are not so many videos about jobs, careers and salaries in Ghana on RUclips. It would be interesting to know how much a KFC worker makes and also the taxes. Love your videos Vanessa! 💕💕
This video is extremely informative. For a Ghanaian in the process of relocating back back home, I really appreciate you putting this out. Adequate healthcare has always been my number issue relocating back to the continent. This video definitely covers that.
That waz a great video Vanessa saved the hassle of asking you about the Healthcare policies in Ghana which are helpful, Thank you Vanessa just keep what you are doing!!! Love what you do and your channel ❤ 😉😊✌👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏🙏
Vanessa , I hope you are all settling in well and I can see you are have great time . Very thoughtful of you to share light on this topic. It was helpful . Thanks you !
The public health care system in Ghana has severe issues, not just because of covid. Lately there have been several news reports on this issues, even with doctors speaking out. Unfortunately you also can't trust the private hospitals. If you want good medical treatment in Ghana, you have to ask for specific doctors. I'm here for several years and I'm signed up at several clinics. After a few years, everyone has either had horrible experience with incompetent medical staff themselves or heard about it. Sorry for the negative comment, but when it comes to health I think it's really important to be honest.
@@servantamyplant4474 the best method is really to do research and ask for recommendations for the specialist, as in dermatologist, orthopedic, gynaecologist, pediatrician etc. There are some expat Facebook groups (they're not just for expats though) where you'll get good recommendations. And specialists work at different clinics as well. A dermatologist might be at one clinic on Tuesday and at another on Wednesday. So if someone recommends a clinic because they had a great dermatologist there on a Tuesday, and you go Wednesday you might be out of luck. It really can be difficult. I know someone who went to Nyaho with a visibly dislocated foot and the radiologist told him it's just sprained. So you really have to know specific doctors for specialties, as well as good labs. Unfortunately this is the reality in Ghana.
@@sarahk6059 ah, yes seems verry logical! What is the most common/useful payment method for Healthcare in Ghana? Do they prefer to get paid for their services directly?
@@servantamyplant4474 when you have a private health insurance it depends if the clinic accepts it and can charge them. Acacia seems widely accepted with private clinics and even pharmacies, but mine is from abroad so I have to pay and then deal with the insurance myself. You have to pay before consultation, if the doctor order x-ray, labs, or shots, you have to go back to the cashier to pay for that before getting anything done. This is one of things in Ghana: even people who arrive as an emergency, bleeding from traffic accident, will not get any treatment before they paid.
Thank you for uploading this video Vanessa. It was very informational and to the point. Health insueance is definitely a must have for travelling or permanent relocation to Ghana. Thanks again for sharing this.
Awww! Acacia is pronounced ak-ay-sha. Very informative video, thank you! Also Nyaho is based near airport but have 2 other smaller clinics, one in Osu and one near Makola.
Greeting Vanessa Kanbi, excellent information and I am very glad that you found it in your heart to speak on this subject as health is very important in ones life. I would also like it if you would do a show on vegetarianism and it's effect on heath and heath care. Thanks for sharing Queen of Ghana, your sister as well.
This pandemic has taught not to rely on the government for assistance. A lot of us started taking our journey towards financial freedom more serious! I advice everyone to start your financial journey right now because 6 months Of negotiating doesn't make any sense no matter what side you're on!
This video was very informative. Job well done! You really did your research. This was very helpful to me because I plan to relocate to Ghana in the future. This helps me make informed decisions on relocation. Thanks, Vanessa! On a different note, I wonder if you experience harmattan season yet. Can you do a video on harmattan in Ghana with its associated health risks, harmattan survival tips, please? Is harmattan severe in some parts of Ghana, and less in other regions? Or, is the entire country equally affected by harmattan? Thanks again and please keep up the great work!
I have made the intention to move to West africa. Sooner than later. But I had an emergency surgery. I ended up in a City Hospital the lowest you can go in New York. But I was astonished at the quality of healthcare . This gave me great appreciation for the American medical system. I need to make the decision is it wise for me to make such a major move at my age and health situation.
You can live anywhere provided you have the money to sustain yourself; however, you have to think of the bond that you will be missing from the place that you are leaving from.
Great content dear sister,, Please kindly tell us the name of the Health Insurance Company you and your family chose,,, It will help some of us enormously in making our choices,,, Thank you for your commitment for this topic,,,
NHIS card does not work properly cos it covers some medications but others u will pay. Eg. I have a chronic skin condition and i use nhis card, i pay almost 90 % of my medication. NHIS card use to work well in its early stage but now its dead
Thank you Vanessa, this is so informative. I'm moving over to Ghana in a few months time and I have been thinking whether to get private insurance out there when I arrive or go for a global insurance policy. I am more for the latter and this video has certainly helped with my decision. Did you engage a broker or did you approach the insurance companies directly?
Hi Vanessa. am a happy subscriber with your channel. love it. Wanted to know a) do you go to a particular hospital and insure with them . b) are the foreign insurance companies much much more expensive than Ghana's own.. Appreciate your response... Medaaaase
Ye the foreign ones are much more expensive but also cover you for much more money. I have a policy with a company and then can go to any hospital I choose.
@@SHAI-HILLS the US is bad standard to follow when it comes to hospitals. A system where your doctor is effectively a salesperson. Also FYI This is not the US
@@SHAI-HILLS yeah I did. I think it’s an impossible question to answer then you compared Ghana to the US and I’m telling you having a league table for the “best hospital” is a very bad idea on many levels

@@davidbell8401 they are friends. stop been so uptight.
I’m writing a dissertation on this subject. It’s so interesting to hear this
I plan on getting Aetna or Cigna International healthcare coverage... I visited Lucca Health while I was in Ghana... I was impressed with Lucca!
Aetna won't work bcz there are no zip / postal codes in Ghana maybe that will be useful to know on your journey 😊

I'm tired Of calling this a recession. this is depression over 30 million unemployed isn't a recession
I think the pandemic has taught people the importance of multiple streams of income unfortunately having a job doesn't mean security
Our biggest pandemic right now is our government they don't care about us
@@bitbcrypto...2118 I think you're right its a pandemic driven over depression
PREACH! Time to PIVOT and Refocus my game plan!
Thanks for sharing. I also this great to know
Will be great if you can add the links to some of the institutions or health insurance providers. Thanks

You could be only go to private hospital. Check ghana's new ghana medical University.
You can live anywhere provided you have the money to sustain yourself; however, you have to think of the bond that you will be missing from the place that you are leaving from.
How old are you by the way.
Hi, keep up professional and interesting content! Can't wait to see more of your travel vlogs!

Hi...u never made mention of the prices with global insurance companies???..
Because it varies SO much and depending on what you choose
@@VanessaKanbi ok...might have to check from their Sites anyway.
Interesting to know 🇬🇭

Very interested in this
What is considered the best hospital?
Surely that’s an impossible question to answer. One hospital may be great at customer service and the other may be best at maternity care etc
Hospitals have Rating here in the United States
@@SHAI-HILLS the US is bad standard to follow when it comes to hospitals. A system where your doctor is effectively a salesperson. Also FYI This is not the US

@@SHAI-HILLS yeah I did. I think it’s an impossible question to answer then you compared Ghana to the US and I’m telling you having a league table for the “best hospital” is a very bad idea on many levels
The current Ghanaian government is really trying for their people. Wow!
Hey friend.....
Hey! How r u doing?
@@VanessaKanbi doing great 👍 just been really busy running my business....
What was the name of the company you picked for your global insurance, also which one did you get to fly you to other countries.
I used one from the list I got a quote from all and most of them have the option of the evacuation. It’s best to check which one suits your needs x
Ok thank you so much
❤️🖤💚✊🏾 Free?
Almost 😅
Talking to other direction ..People and real situation ..ok please ..
