The Finance Minister Seth Terkper on Wednesday announced to Parliament that his outfit remitted GHC 1.06million into the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) for the 2013 and 2014 fiscal years although the nation was experiencing serious economic challenges.
This has however raised questions as to why the Authority has been unable to pay service providers nationwide who have been threatening to withdraw their services to NHIS card holders.
The NHIA CEO was on the show to clarify issues surrounding the payment.
He said “there appears to be some misunderstanding over figures” but he indicated that the NHIA “will accept every blame for the misinformation because the discussions in Parliament yesterday [Wednesday] centered on releases to the Health Insurance Authority.”
