Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is scheduled to launch the ‘Ghana Card Number at Birth’ initiative on Thursday, March 14, 2024.
It would be launched at the Ga North Hospital in Ofankor in the Greater Accra Region to ensure that every child born in Ghana receives a unique identity number.
However, the Ghana card will be handed to the child when he or she reaches 15 years old.
The initiative is christened: “Ghana Card Number at Birth,” championed by the Office of the Vice President.
It formed part of efforts by the government to ensure that every Ghanaian has a Ghana card to enable them to easily access basic social services.
So far, the National Identification Authority has registered 17.5 million Ghanaians onto its biometric data register.

The most st.u.p.di governance policy ever that without Ghana Card a person can withdraw his own money from his own Bank Account. Even at age 2 a toddler face changes, at age 6, change, age 10 change, age 18 change.............. so will the holder have to go and have their picture updated at these node points or there will be gadgets fixed everywhere to decode finger prints. To be honest NPP level of o.folishness in governance is a record that will never be broken. Guy focus and do just one only one thing, let Ghc1.00 = $USD1.00 now its Ghc13.10 = $USD1.00 and stop all these o.non.sins. The thing that will bring development and structures you won't do.... forget the baby, his/her parents and tell me, honestly, what the ***barred word*** is giving a baby Ghana Card going to do for the whole Country. When we talk they don't understand........... d.idots.
