Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has announced free kidney dialysis for all patients under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) starting December 1, 2024
This comes after a successful pilot program that offered free kidney dialysis for patients aged 60 and above, as well as those under 18 years. The NPP flagbearer announced during his campaign at Old Tafo on Sunday, November 10.
“Many people suffer from kidney diseases, requiring dialysis, which can be costly and unaffordable for many. Six months ago, we initiated a pilot program to include dialysis under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). For the past six months, individuals over 60 and those under 18 have been receiving free dialysis.
“However, we are now concluding this pilot program. Starting December 1 of this year, all kidney dialysis patients will be covered for free under the NHIS,” he stated.
