Cover treatment of kidney disease KATH doctors, patients to NHIS LISTEN
MAY 10, 2021
Doctors at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) have bemoaned data that suggests that about 30 children between the ages of two and 14 years with kidney diseases are left to die annually because of financial constraints.
At the Paediatric Nephrology Unit of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), an average of 150 kidney disease patients are admitted on a yearly basis.
Health officials have raised concerns regarding the huge cost of treating kidney disease for the average Ghanaian.
Out of about 1000 outpatients who visit the paediatric nephrology unit annually, only a few of them return to access health care due to the cost involved.
In a joint statement issued after a dialogue at Lweza Training and Conference Center, read by Father Constantine Mbonabingi, religious leaders say although government tries to provide free health care services, a big proportion of health expenditure is met by individuals who pay cash to the health providers when they seek health care.
The National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) Bill, seeks to provide universal healthcare to all Ugandans.
According to Daily Monitor, data from the Ministry of Health indicates that the total annual health expenditure stands at Shs7.5 trillion.
Of this, 15 per cent is from government funding, 42 per cent from donors, 41 per cent from individuals (out of pocket) when they fall sick and only two per cent from pre-payment mechanisms.
