The 37 Military Hospital is receiving and treating beneficiaries of the National Health Insurance Scheme NHIS, contrary to reports that the health facility was turning away subscribers of the scheme.<\/p>\n
A message announcing the hospital\u2019s decision not to attend to NHIS subscribers made rounds on social media platform WhatsApp few days ago and subsequently found its way into traditional media, as some of them circulated the hoax.<\/p>\n
It is unclear who created the message and what the motive was.\u00a0But during a visit by a team of journalists to the facility on Wednesday, it turned out that the information was inaccurate, as several NHIS subscribers had queued to verify their details at the NHIS office situated on the Hospital\u2019s promises.<\/p>\n
An employee at the Front Desk of the records section of the hospital where NHIS members are verified, Kenneth Cudjoe, told citifmonline.com<\/strong> that the reports were false, adding that several beneficiaries of the scheme go on to seek medical care after their details are verified.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to him, majority of the beneficiaries who visit the facility were pregnant women and children.<\/p>\n
