Just like the FSHS, this is far better way to use Ghc57million of taxpayers' money than politicians and their cronies taking it for their personal benefit.

You sat down and allowed a lot of people to die before coming out one week to elections to announce such a policy. The money is tax payers money so don't look at the amount as if it is coming from personal pocket

Thank you Mahama for bringing relief to us. 8yrs NPP never implemented this. Only 6 days to an election, and just because Mahama promised to make it free Bawumia wants to make political capital out of it

This cost driver requires a broader stakeholder consultation rather than gathering a few cronies and Vice research team to decide on such a program. Most countries do not factor dialysis treatment straight to Their health insurance. There are dedicated funding ,trust, grants to sustained it.
Dialysis is expensive what Ghana is charging is less than 50 dollars whereas in most countries a session can be more than 100 dollars. That is where copayment starts. Let's do it well.
