The recent pledge by Dr.
Bawumia to provide free dialysis treatment for kidney patients starting December 1 is yet another empty, reactionary promise from a government that has persistently failed to address the healthcare needs of Ghanaians.
This promise has no credible policy framework, there is absolutely no reference to it in the NPP 2024 Manifesto, there is no allocation whatsoever in the 2024 National health Insurance Fund Allocation Formula, neither is there any necessary budgetary support provision in 2024 Budget prepared by the Economic Management Team headed by Dr Bawumia.
This hollow commitment, for all intents and purposes, is a deceptive attempt to win public favour in the lead-up to the elections.
