The Chief Executive Officer of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), Dr.
Dacosta Aboagye, has disbursed GH¢200 million for claim payments to support free dialysis for kidney patients at health facilities.
This fulfills a promise made by the government and Vice President to include kidney dialysis treatment under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
As a result, kidney patients in the country will not be required to pay any money when they visit accredited health facilities for treatment under the NHIS.
