Which international organizations have recommended NHIS? Signing more people does not mean it is functioning properly when service providers to NHIS like Hospitals and pharmaceutical companies are refusing to provide their services because the government is not paying them.

The problem incompetent and monumental failure Mahama is encountering is that, they can portray how good things are but the people who will vote on December 7, 2016 are Ghanaians living the hardships of his dumb and stupid policies due to his administration propensity to steal.

Yes, a lot of people are going to hospitals because their policies are making a lot of people sick and dying.

Don't behave like you don't have brains to see through this nonsense. Ndc was against this insurance initiative by Npp.

The so called social democrats do not even have one social intervention in its name now they are behaving as if they brought NHIS.

NONSENSE! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOUR LIES. I PERSONALLY WENT TO THE DOME BRANCH OF NHIS TO RENEW MY CARD AND THE ROOM WAS SO FULL THAT I WAS TOLD TO WAIT DOWNSTAIRS. THE SCHEME IS WORKING. IT IS THE CORRUPTION PERPETUATED BY OUR OWN BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN THE HOSPITALS THAT IS THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE SIX NHIS CARDS IN MY FAMILY AND THE LAST TIME WE USED IT FOR MY DAUGTHER IT WORKED.

NARROW MINDED GHANAIANS THINK THE NHIS IS FUNCTIONAL. IT IS DAMN STCHUUUUUUUUPID TO ARGUE THAT PEOPLE ARE SUSCRIBING TO NHIS SO IT IS FUNCTIONAL!!!!!!! WHAT ARE THE CORE FUNCTIONS OF THE NHIA/S/ 1. TO REGISTER PEOPLE AND . TO PAY THE CLINICS FOR THEIR SERVICES. THE FORMER IS EASY BUT THE LATTER IS THE WAHALA!!!!! THE NHIA/S IS NOT RE-IMBURSING OUR HEALTH SERVICE PROVIDERS(CLINICS, HOSPITALS, MATERITY HOMES ETC), MAJORITY OF WHICH HAVE COLLAPSED!!!!!! IT IS THEREFORE STCHUUUUUPIDLY NAIVE TO SAY THE NHIS IS FUNCTIONAL WHEN IT IS COLLAPSING OUR HEALTH INSTITUTIONS!!!!!. LET'COME TO THE SUPPLY OF DRUGS. AT THE ONSET OF THE NHIS A LOT OF PRIVATE DRUG STORES REGISTERED WITH THE NHIS TO PROVIDE FREE MEDICINES WHEN THEY WERE NOT AVAILABLE AT THE CLINICS. NOW ALMOST ALL THE DRUG STORES HAVE SHUT THEIR DOORS TO NHIS CARD HOLDERS BECAUSE OF NON-PAYMENT BY THE NHIA/S. NOW IF THE PRESCRIBED MEDICINES ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THE CLINICS THE PATIENTS PULL CASH FROM THEIR POCKETS TO BUY SO WHICH BUULUBUULU I SCREAMING THE NHIS IS FUNCTINAL?? IT IS A CHEAP NDC PROPAGANDA SO IF YOU'RE WISE, DON'T SWALLOW IT. CURRENTLY THE NHIA/S HASN'T REIMBURSED OUR CLINICS/HOSPITALS FOR 9 SOLID MONTHS. THE REIMBURSEMENT IS SO ERRATIC PEOPLE ARE NOT ESTABLISHING PRIVATE CLINICS AGAIN. AS A FRIEND SAID, BECAUSE OF THE DEAD NHIS ,IT IS NOW MORE PROFITABLE TO ESTABLISH A CHOP BAR WITH AKPETESHIE ATTACHED THAN TO ESTABLISH A PRIVATE CLINICS. THE NDC HAS KILLED THE NHIS AND THAT HAS LED TO THE COLLAPSE OG PRIVATE MEDICAL PRACTICE IN GHANA AND DOCTORS SHOULD REMEMBER THIS WHEN COTING ON 7/12. VOTE FOR NPP, THE ORIGINATORS OF THE NHIS TO WIN POWER TO RESUSCITATE IT. KPA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is Peace FM or Joy FM an NDC mouth piece. These networks are Known to be sympathetic to the npp therefore their independent investigation has revealed the NHIS is working contrary to NPP lies then it must be taken seriously. My only worry is that the lazy communocation minister Omani Boamah and his team as usual will fail to use such information to dispel NPP lies. No wonder I have a funny feeling this minister has something up his sleeves. President Mahama must be careful of such people around him. He should know that not everyone that smiles at you is a friend.

Nana Addo used to refer to himself as the Mohammed Buhari of Nigeria based on 2 reasons 1. Because he is an old man like himself , 2. Because Buhari contested for the third time. Why has he suddenly stopped comparing ? Because Nana Addo noted that Buhari is from the North of Nigeria. The president of Nigeria is a Northerner, The President of Cote D’Ivoire is a Northerner, The president of Togo is a Northerner.
So Northerners in Ghana should be proud to have President Mahama as president of Ghana.
Bawumia is working had just to become Vice president, should northerners reject President and go for Vice President? As a northerner would you reject Mahama and go for Bawumia? Think about it

We don't use mere registration numbers to conclude that the scheme is working. It is SIMPLY NOT WORKING. NDC propaganda reporting to throw dust in the eyes of the electorate on NHIS functionality will NOT wash. Patients are seeing the nonfunctional city of the NHIS everyday that the visit the hospital.

Propaganda. Who said gov't is de one building the Legon hospital? My wife attended ante-natal at Tema Polyclinic Comm 2 and each time she visits, she's made to pay for utilities n she was told she cldn't visit more than 6times with the NHIS card. After she delivered, I paid some money for the bed before they were discharged. For de first time in the history of Ghana, there's shortage of weighing card and when my wife got 1 she paid Gh¢15 for it. Even as we speak now, there's shortage of some vaccines. You look at all these things and you want to throw dust into our eyes.

Is Ghana's population today the same as the population we had in 2008? there is a rush for the scheme because it is functioning, more importantly Ghana is doing better than all the sub saharan nations and so many foreigners have come to register for it. Under Kuffour people were not sure of the NHIS so most were reluctant to register, if you put all the factors together you will notice that Nana is lying as usual. Why will people be paying and trooping for something which does not work? it make no sense. I don't think you will advice your family to pay and register for something which does not work. NPP big men have registered all their families yet are going round to tell Ghanaians that NHIS is no more there. Ghanaians will decide

Glad to read this and well done to Joy Fm for this work. The npp members on daily basis are only telling lies to the public so they can win power. All the massive developments are a sign of jobs to come when they are completed but it seems some people are not happy to invest in the future of this country but only wants to spend monies on their stomach so they always speak against the good works being done by the John Dramani Mahama administration. Pls vote massively for John Dramani Mahama for better Ghana come 7th December 2016

MAHAMA VINDICATED AS CURRENT WORLD BANK REPORT EXPOSE NANA ADDO, BAWUMIA AND NPP
I really don’t know why my writings all week centered on infrastructure being the key to building a nation but the world bank report on the best countries to do business in world made me realize why. The report vindicated president John Mahama and the NDC while exposing the lies of Nana Addo, Bawumia and the npp.

Without stepping in the classroom, one can easily know that to create employment one needs infrastructure. Even facebook which does not see a quarter of it’s users physically have an office where they operate from hence needed to build infrastructure to create employment for its employees before they began operating.

Let me not divert. The world bank report stated emphatically that Ghana is the 9th best place to do business in Africa and the 1st best place to do business in West Africa. Yes, u read me well. Ghana is the best place to do business in West Africa and not Nigeria which has the largest economy in Africa nor Ivory Coast. These 2 countries have been the reference points of Nana Addo and the npp whenever they want to lie that Ghana is in crisis. Maybe the think their npp represent Ghana so once they are in crisis due to the bad leadership of Nana Addo and Bawumia, it means Ghana is in crisis.

So how does the world bank report vindicate president John Mahama and expose Nana Addo, Bawumia and the npp??? Well, they claim the massive infrastructural development we are seeing nationwide under president Mahama is of no essence to building our nation but the infrastructural development we see around us is the secret behind Ghana being the best place to do business in West Africa. Let me tell you why.

The numerous massive road projects ongoing nationwide means businesses won’t have to waste productive hours in traffic again. This also means raw materials for production which can be accessed in the hinterlands can also be transported easily. This will surely attract This also means raw materials for production which can be accessed in the hinterlands can also be transported easily. because they are assured of high productivity which means more earning and more jobs to be created.

The huge number of schools being constructed from the Basic level to the tertiary level means creation of jobs by government but it does not end there. Private persons who have the aim of going into the production of education related goods and services now have so many avenues to exploit and they will create jobs in the process. Same applies to the plenty health facilities being constructed by government.

Do you know that airlines in Nigeria now fly to Ghana to buy fuel for their planes before embarking on their main journeys??? Hope you know see the sense in the expansion of our airports??? These airlines from Nigeria now see opportunities to exploit in Ghana. Their moving here will create jobs, thanks to the infrastructural development by President Mahama.

Let me not make you read plenty. It’s an obvious fact that contrary to the lies by Nana Addo, Bawumia and the npp that Ghana is in crisis, Ghana is rather the best place to do business in West Africa today. Nigeria is behind us and Ivory Coast is nowhere near us so Nana Addo, Bawumia and the npp should destroy their notes that deceived them that Nigeria and Ivory Coast are doing better than Ghana and infrastructure is of no essence and face the reality that Ghana has really developed muscles under president Mahama and the great NDC to the extent that it is the best place to do business in West Africa today.

I hope your doubts about the president’s promise to create 3 million new jobs when retained has been cleared now. He has built a solid foundation by improving our infrastructure which makes job creation easy.

The National Health Insurance Scheme is working and some of us have even reported on the fishy deals some of the health providers are involved. Delivery for instance medical officers still charge women who deliver babies huge monies by taking them away from registered providers to facilities that are not registered under the scheme. Cost of services and drugs are also inflicted by the providers. There was an interesting case that a health provider charge a 14 years old boy for delivery.

How will you call a scheme that has many subscribers and the number seems to increase on daily basis but refuses to pay the providers of the service. As a health worker I know for a fact that for the past ten months government has not paid the service providers their monies so the providers only sort to first aid drugs after treatment because suppliers of drugs and non drugs to these hospitals, health centres are also loosing big time. Their monies have been locked up with the government for almost a year now. Contact the likes of Tobinco pharmaceuticals, Ernest chemist and you will know what am talking of.

This is very reassuring indeed however, there is this wrong impression I wish to correct n that is the notion that ssnit contributors do not pay , as a matter of fact their premiums payments is indirectly surcharged on their ssnit contribution at source so let's take note as it with the entire NHIS system which is a sort a prepaid or an upfront payment system for healthcare. or service delivery.
This then may reduced the actual users to b/n 30-35%..and so I urge govt to seriously reconsider the introduction of the onetime payment which in ma considered opinion is very very doable if govt should really puts its acts together n do a very exhaustive work on possible sources of financing the system as I have identified some strategic avenue option to easily fund the system...

Traditional Satanism is not simply an inversion, but a complete rejection of the images of a
0244908520particular culture, religion, or philosophy. From there a Satanist uses those images against the ethos itself, that was once his own conditioning. Persons who participate in traditional Satanic masses sometimes experience a king of 'sartori', a sudden enlightenment, to an increase in their own consciousness, and feeling stronger and satisfied because they had broken with the constraining opposites. In other words, at its highest level Satanism uncovers what the ethos of a particular community or society has covered up through images, dogma, words and ideas, returning the individual to the primal chaos out of which 'opposites' were created." ~ Magister Hagur, Temple of Atazoth Office

2. Should the number of subscribers to the nhis still be as in 2005? Is this logical
3. Has some drugs that subscribers of nhis enjoyed in some years back been taken away? Are they not now paying for those medicines?
Instead of the scheme to add other drugs and diseases they are now even taking some off. Are people not paying more than they benefit from the scheme. This is what Nana call collapsed nhis
