The policy, which would be launched at the Ga North Hospital in Ofankor in the Greater Accra Region, would pave the way for every Ghanaian child born in the country to be given a unique identity number.

The Ghana card would, however, be handed over to the child when he or she reaches the age of 15 years.

Dubbed “Ghana card number at birth,” the initiative is the brainchild of Dr. Bawumia, and it is part of an effort by the government to ensure every Ghanaian has a Ghana card with a corresponding unique number.
