Seidu Razak, the Campaign Chairman for the aspiring Independent Parliamentary Candidate for the Damongo Constituency, Mr David Tiki Dange and famously known as Chairman Mpah within the constituency has appealed to the constituents to vote the NPP out of Government as the National Health Insurance Scheme within the area is ineffective and “very useless”.
Speaking on Nkilgi FM, a Bole based Radio Station, he said that on a visit to the Hospital on August 12, 2020, on behalf of Mr David Tiki Dange, he found that patients on admission and those at the Out-Patients Department (OPD) are made to buy drugs for their treatments. Such was not the case under the governance of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government, he had said.
According to Mr Razak, patients who have been admitted to the hospital without the Health Insurance Card are made to pay Gh₡50 daily. Patients are having a difficult time; suffering and paying to be taken care off.
He added that he was approached on a daily bases and asked to support patients who were unable to settle their hospital bills; a new occurrence in Damongo Constituency ever since the NPP assumed power.
The NPP, under President Nana Akuffo Addo, he said, has failed their promise to make the Health Sector better than what the NDC had done. Therefore, it would be for the good of Damongo constituents if the NPP government was voted out of power.
Mr Tiki Dange, the aspiring Independent Parliamentary Candidate will ensure that the complications with the National Health Insurance Scheme within Damongo Constituency is rectified when he is voted into power, he promised. And so, he appealed to members of the constituent to vote massively for him.
Chairman Mpah, after visiting patients admitted to the hospital gave out an undisclosed amount of money to all the patients he visited.
