Prof. Titus Beyuo, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for Lambusie, has lauded the party\u2019s primary healthcare policy, aimed at expanding healthcare access nationwide.<\/p>\n
Under this policy, NDC Presidential Candidate John Dramani Mahama intends to eliminate out-of-pocket expenses at CHPS compounds, district hospitals, and other designated health facilities, which Prof. Beyuo describes as a crucial step toward universal primary healthcare in Ghana.<\/p>\n
In contrast, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has emphasised targeted healthcare initiatives, including free dialysis treatment.<\/p>\n
During an interview with Bernard Avle on Channel One TV<\/strong>\u2019s The Point of View<\/em><\/strong>, Prof. Beyuo argued that the NDC\u2019s comprehensive primary healthcare plan provides a broader, more impactful approach to addressing Ghana\u2019s healthcare needs compared to the NPP\u2019s specific benefits.<\/p>\n\u201cThey [NPP] claim they have something on primary healthcare, but I think our primary healthcare policy is a superior one. The free aspect of this primary healthcare policy has been well thought through.<\/p>\n
\u201cLess than 23% of persons living in rural communities had a valid NHIS card at the time we did the survey. Less than 45% of CHPS compounds were accredited to provide NHIS services. The major funding to the NHIA is the levy, not the premium, which means that every Ghanaian contribute to that levy.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf everyone is contributing, why should the absence of the card limit people from the most basic form of care? This is the thinking behind which H.E [Mahama] said no. As a people, we should be fair to everybody. Every Ghanaian who is contributing to the NHIA levy should enjoy a certain minimum package of services. And that is why we starting with the CHPS compound.\u201d<\/p>\n
He expressed the party\u2019s commitment to completing the construction of the abandoned CHPS compounds across the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe estimated that we\u2019re going to complete the abandoned CHPS compound and that will bring the figure to about 6,000.\u201d<\/p>\n
