THE Management of the Eastern Regional Hospital at Koforidua has debunked rumours that it has withdrawn its services to subscribers of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
In a statement signed by the Director of the hospital, Dr E. Apori Obeng, the management said “we wish to assure the public that we have never withdrawn services to any of our clients and have no intention of doing so”.
The statement, therefore, advised the public to disregard such rumours, since they were false and calculated to tarnish the image of the hospital.
According to the statement, the attention of the management of the hospital had recently been drawn to rumours that it had withdrawn its services to subscribers of the NHIS.
It therefore advised any client who would be denied service in any department of the hospital to, as soon as practicable, report such conduct to the administrator, matron or medical superintendent of the facility for the appropriate action to be taken.
“The management also wish to appeal to media personnel, who may receive complaints about denial of service to clients or any untoward treatment at the hands of any member of staff of the hospital to immediately report such conduct to the hospital’s authorities for appropriate action to be taken,” the statement added.
The statement wished the hospital’s valued clients a happy and prosperous New Year, adding that “we sincerely trust that this and the coming years will see greater collaboration with all and sundry to help in the nurture and growth of the NHIS in the New Juaben Municipality, the region and the country as a whole”.
