Dialysis care must be covered by the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), according to Dumelo.
A widely shared graphic on social media indicated that the cost of dialysis had increased by 101 percent, from GHC380 to GHC765.
John Dumeltook to Twitter in response to the news, asking why dialysis care isn't covered by the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). Such an addition, in his opinion, is both necessary and feasible.
“Dialysis treatment should be included under the NHIS. It can be done,” he posted.
The #OccupyJulorbiHouse movement, which recently staged a three-day demonstration calling for better economic and political administration in the nation, grabbed the chance to emphasize its point.
