The management of UniBank Ghana Limited has refuted claims by the\u00a0Korle Bu Teaching Hospital that it could not work with the End-to-End Hospital Revenue Collection Software for onsite banking.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Korle Bu Teaching Hospital management\u2019s had said UniBank’s compatibility shortcomings with the\u00a0End-to-End Hospital Revenue Collection Software were\u00a0essentially leading to revenue losses<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, hence the temporary abrogation of its contract with the bank.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”7ycfZbrutitlFWSvynEOib5VZS9qBMoM”]The hospital, among a number of claims, also said Unibank skipped a meeting to submit proposals for an End-to-End Hospital Revenue Collection Software in 2015, aimed at dealing with the hospital’s revenue leaks.<\/p>\n It said Stanbic Bank successfully presented a proposal and was awarded a contract to pilot the new software in the entire hospital, which was valued at $240,000.<\/p>\n But Unibank has in a statement clarified that “the assertion that the Stanbic approved End-to-End Hospital Revenue Collection Software was not compatible with uniBank\u2019s software is a total fabrication.”<\/p>\n “In the first place, UniBank was not invited to do a presentation on HMIS with Stanbic. There was no technical assessment on the compatibility of uniBank\u2019s collection software and Stanbic\u2019s End-to-End Hospital Revenue Collection software (assuming KBTH had accepted Stanbic\u2019s software).<\/p>\n Thus, Unibank maintained that the assertion that there were compatibility issues “was a figment of someone\u2019s imagination.”<\/p>\n UniBank further said it was surprised to learn that the hospital had invited Stanbic to do a presentation behind its back.<\/p>\n “All this while, the Polyclinic, which had already been assigned to uniBank for revenue collection services, had been assigned to Stanbic to install the HMIS software, on a pilot basis, “without officially notifying uniBank in writing.”<\/p>\n “It is therefore totally false for KBTH to state that they invited uniBank to do a presentation on \u201cEnd-to-End Hospital Revenue Collection Software in 2015\u201d, and we challenge the Management of KBTH to make a copy of the said letter available to the general public.”<\/p>\n Corruption allegations<\/strong><\/p>\n The contract in question was the\u00a0centre of corruption allegations made by Kwame Asare Obeng, also known as A-Plus, against two presidential staffers, Francis Asenso-Boakye and Abu Jinapor.<\/p>\n A-Plus\u2019 allegations had to do with a petition by Unibank Ghana Limited to the effect that the management of Korle-Bu had abrogated the existing MoU with them without any reason, thus treating them unfairly.<\/p>\n A-Plus held that the two presidential staffers played a role in the matter, but his allegations were later\u00a0deemed to be baseless<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n Unibank’s statement added that Korle Bu Teaching Hospital management has not presented any evidence to show that uniBank had committed any wrong-doing or committed any breach in the performance of its obligations under the MOU.<\/p>\n “All uniBank sought to do was to be given a fair and transparent opportunity in the bidding process for the provision of on-site banking services at KBTH,” it said.<\/p>\n
