There is no reason whatsoever for NHIS to collapse. Apart from the premium paid, there is a 12% tax on all items that we buy on the market. This is all inclusive. 12% is also charged for the use of utilities. One wonders where all this money is going to and NHIS still has financial problems. Someone(s) must be siphoning the money to personal accounts. Uh!!

Health facilities have been stealing from members of the NHIS and the state by charging both members and NHIS for services and drugs.
In April this year two of my relatives delivered babies in two hospitals in Accra. A doctor at Ridge Hospital told the woman she has to go to Kasoa in the Central Region for delivery and charged her GHC880.00. The other who delivered at La Paz Community Hospital was charged GHC500.00 though delivery is covered by the NHIS.
For ease of reference let us quote the NHIS Minimum Health Care Benefits on Antenatal and Postnatal SCHEDULE II, PART I, Section 5: Maternity Care including
a. Antenatal Care,
b. Deliveries, namely, normal and assisted
c. Caesarian Section
d. Postnatal Care
We expect health care professionals including the Ghana Medical Association to be above corruption, but they are some of the most corrupt professionals in the country.
I am at a lost when corrupt people like this rather point their finger at the NHIS. Police Hospital for instance is not a first point facility for members of NHIS it is a referral facility.
In due course we shall be publishing the names of medical officers who charge and collect money from both NHIS members and NHIS a day light robbery on the NHIS and the public.

Let government and the NHIA fulfill their obligations and then we can all direct our anger at the service providers. The issue here is the NHIA and government has failed to reimburse the facilities. I think the attitude of government is rather helping to entrench corruption in this health insurance issues.

Where are the NDC stomach serial callers and commentators they should come and lie about this one too and ironically most patients who are unable to stand cash and carry are NDC supporters who have been brainwashed.

One would have thought that a respected body like GMA would have been proffering solutions to sustain the scheme because they are a major stakeholder here but they rather chose to lament and as usual call on gov't.

Fool, the solution is to re-reimburse the health facilities as it's expected of government.

Every good program that was made to help the poor in Ghana has been destroyed by Mahama and his NDC. NHIS, National Youth Employment, school feeding program, etc. Why
