Bawumia announces free kidney dialysis for all NHIS patients from Dec 1.

Date:

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has announced that starting December 1, 2024, kidney dialysis will be provided free of charge for all patients under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).

This comes after a successful pilot programme that offered free kidney dialysis for patients aged 60 and above, as well as those under 18 years.

Dr. Bawumia announced while campaigning in the Old Tafo constituency 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 programme 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 programme. Starting December 1 of this year, all kidney dialysis patients will be covered for free under the NHIS,” he stated.
