If any patient is mistakenly charged for dialysis treatment, the NHIA has promised a full refund, demonstrating their commitment to providing free and accessible healthcare services to all eligible patients.

This initiative is a beacon of hope for many Ghanaians, promising a healthier future with accessible and affordable healthcare services.
