Dr. Aboagye DaCosta, the Chief Executive Officer of the NHIA, affirmed the authority’s commitment to ensuring universal access to basic healthcare.
Initiating its support program for dialysis patients at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital on Monday, June 3, the NHIA aims to expand assistance to renal patients nationwide.
Dr. DaCosta assured journalists of the government’s well-defined strategy to sustain the support initiative for renal patients, which may include provisions for dialysis machines in various facilities.
