On the NHIS, Dr. Thomas W. Anabah, CEO of Habana Medical Service (Tamale), writes.

 

"I just returned from the Tamale Teaching Hospital, where I met with a family requesting assistance in saving a woman who was suffering from brain bleeding.

 

Pregnancy Induced Hypertension was the cause of this illness.

 

Doctors at the hospital would not conduct the procedure to remove the blood from her brain that will save her life for the next five days because her relatives cannot afford it.

 

Isn't it true that maternity healthcare isn't free?

 

Why is the finance minister keeping billions of cedis earned from the National Health Insurance Levy while patients suffer?

 

Should we continue to pay the NHI Levy if a minister applies it incorrectly?"
