and Ghanaians are dying. Common sense is said to be common but never common to the black man. Do you need a white woman to come and tell you this? Fools never learn. After all the incompetence and the thieving at the NHIS, we are still keeping Sylvester Mensah there for what? He will kiss jail as soon as there is a change of government.

Ablade, these are the comments which will kill us and our country. must you insult anybody to make your point. That's cheap. Anyway, i have done some work in health insurance systems around the world. i think Ghana is not doing badly. When i read into Ghana's experience until Sylvester took over, i realized how much of an asset he really has been. The reforms and all he has brought have been useful. Ghanaians will kill their leaders with such talk! let's appreciate people, fellow Ghanaians

Sly has only enriched him self and family members in NHIA. He was never rich. What asset? The resources he had at his disposal warranted he did more if he had not chop chop it. shabby reforms to please his people there. Putting square pegs in triangular box. Wait until the NPP comes to power and you see .where he will be. You people are living in a fools paradise indeed

Ablade, discuss issues and not personalities...Has the NHIS helped the masses? Does is give hope to those who cant afford childcare? has its coverage increased? what are some of their genuine challenges? can we impress upon government to increase their funding to help sustain it? Can we impress upon medical practitioners not to charge patients for medicines and services that are covered under the scheme and then send same bills to the nhis to pay? Can we impress upon Ministry of health and Ghana health service to rise up to the game of monitoring quality of care at the hospitals etc? These are some of the issues that stakeholders like you and i should be debating and help find answers to and not vindictive personal attacks on individuals. Others will also find faults with you if you were running a national institution heavily politicised like the NHIS. God Bless us all and make us think more progressively than make noise about pettiness.

Hunter, did u hear that the policy is being extended to volta, upper east and upper west? I read that in the news recently and the guy they interviewed made the point that a lot of ground work is normally carried out before the rollout starts and they were on the ground with those background consultation and education. Indeed, the saw their meeting with the upper east minister on TV. It's not a rush, let have patience for the guys...and things will work

I recently went to a hospital at kumasi. contrary to the usual snobbish attitude by nurses, i was surprised to see a new customer service approach. I later enquired from a friend why the nurses were so nice to me and I was told it's becos of capitation bcos if i was not happy with the service, i will 'port' or change to another hospital and the nhia will not pay them again for my money. if it is carried out well, i think it will be really good

The NHIA is doing his bid with the press. The rot there should have attracted the press.
The providers too are quiet because they know the deal they have with the authority. The booty is shared that's the truth.

Everyone with a problem should be able to come up with at least 1 solution. No solution as an answer cannot be accepted.
The practise where newly sworn-in doctors called house officers are left to experiment with serious medical and obstetric cases while the medical officers, specialists and consultants are away must stop. The Ghana health service must ensure that in the referral hospitals there is at least a specialist on duty 24 hours in three shifts to supervise the newly sworn-in doctors at all times.

Capitation works when there is rsk adjustment. Risk Adjustment requires a groupr model that relies on historical claims data to determine level of risk for each member. PMPM is then based on the member risk score.
All they will be doing is inviting fraud, waste and abuse.
