Government and private hospitals are yet to reach an agreement to harmonise charges for treatment of Covid-19 patients in private hospitals following numerous meetings between stakeholders.
For the past two months since the second wave hit the country, there has been outcry over the exorbitant daily charges by private hospitals to patients that require critical care. A
Daily Monitor survey established that the charges would go as high as Shs5 million per day.
In a meeting convened by Col Edith Nakalema, the head of the State House Anti-Corruption Unit last month, private hospitals had promised to come out with a harmonized position on how much a Covid-19 patient would be required to pay.
