NHIA refutes claims of political motivation behind the GH¢2 million support for renal patients
Dr. Dacosta Aboagye, the CEO of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), has refuted claims suggesting that the planned financial assistance of over ¢2 million for renal patients in need of dialysis is politically motivated.
During an interview on Citi FM, he clarified that these funds were allocated by parliament to aid vulnerable patients and were not intended for political gain.
He emphasized the NHIA’s commitment to the welfare of all citizens and asserted that partisan politics played no role in their decision-making process.
Dr. Aboagye underscored his personal stance, stating, “What I will say is that I am not interested in engaging in any partisan politics on this. Because at the end of the day if it is my sister or my brother or my younger friend who is suffering from this and I am in a position to help I will not think politics.”
Highlighting the humanitarian aspect of the issue, he reiterated that parliament had tasked the NHIA with supporting those in need, and he intended to fulfill this mandate without any political bias.
