The Chief
Executive Officer of Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, Dr Joseph Akpaloo has
stated emphatically that some pregnant women who attend hospital for delivery
without wearing panties to cover their private part pay additional cost to their bill after delivery
because hospital provides them panties
and other needed items.
He charged
pregnant women who attend hospital for health care or delivery to take notes
that some items like panties, food, drink, blade, etc are not covered by the
National Health Insurance(NHIS) as they presume, they pay for it as soon as the
hospital provides them.
The CEO
confirmed the allegation that maternal care and delivery is no longer free as it was initiated sometime ago at Komfo Anokye Teaching
Hospital.
KATH does not
serve as father-Christmas to give
without receiving returns, any resource used for treatment by the hospital is
accounted for, he stressed. Appeal was made to the general public that whenever
you visit health facility for treatment, you must be fully prepared to avoid
disgrace.
