Dialysis Price In Ghana; Professor Frimpong Boateng Says It is Warranted

Dialysis price in Ghana has been another controversial issue on social media and traditional media after Ghanaians were notified that, the price for dialysis at Korlebu Teaching Hospital and across the Country has increased drastically. It is clear that the increase in dialysis prices is over 50%. What used to cost about 300 Ghana cedis is now in the range of 700 Ghana Cedis.

Speaking on this same issue at Metro TV, the National Communications Director for the National Democratic Congress condemned such a decision from the Government of Ghana under His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo Addo by increasing the price of dialysis and urged the Government to cut the cost as early as possible and those who have paid for the new price, their monies should be refunded.

This is not only the concern of Sammy Gyamfi. This is a concern to all Ghanaians. Health care matters. Going for a health care where you cannot meet the price requirement for treatment and totally bad and out of order.

However, Professor Frimpong has a different view of the situation as he speaks on dialysis prices in Ghana. According to Profession Frimpong Boateng, everything in Ghana recently has increased and all hospital types of equipment especially those used to cure and treat dialysis are not exempted from the list. He is of the view that as all these are happening in Ghana, it is obvious that Dialysis prices will also go up.

Professor Frimpong Boateng, a former Chief Executive officer (CEO) of Korle Bu Hospital, believes that the recent price adjustments for dialysis treatment at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital are warranted, given the rising operational expenses of the hospital.
