The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) has released an additional GH¢135.6 million to healthcare providers nationwide.
This disbursement is to settle outstanding claims for February 2024 for higher-tier healthcare providers and March 2024 for most lower-tier facilities.
The payment seeks to reduce the gap between higher and lower-tier facility payments, ensuring that the only outstanding payments owed by the Authority are within the agreed three-month reimbursable period.
This latest disbursement follows an earlier release of GH¢300 million to mixed-tier health facilities across the country.
According to NHIA CEO Dr Da-Costa Aboagye, the Authority recognises the vital role healthcare providers play in the success of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) and is committed to maintaining a strong partnership with facilities while preventing illegal charges
The Supreme court has by a majority decision upheld the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA)’s directive which prevents celebrities from endorsing alcoholic drinks.
This brings an end to a highly publicised nineteen-month legal suit filed against the Authority by the CEO of Black Kulcha Music, Mark Darlington Osae.
Delivering an abridged version of the ruling at the apex court on Wednesday, June 19, Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo, said the FDA’s directive does not contravene the constitution.
This means that well-known personalities or professionals are perpetually banned from appearing in advertisements that promote alcoholic drinks.
On the day this landmark ruling was given, only one well-known personality in the showbiz industry, George Quaye showed up in court.
The full ruling is expected to be made public on Friday June 21.
Speaking to reporters after the ruling, Director for Legal and Corporate Affairs at the Food and Drugs Authority, Joseph Bennie welcomed the ruling and said the Authority will take steps to prevent well-known personalities and professionals from circumventing the order.
An angry representative of the plaintiff with the Ghana Music Alliance, Nii Ofoli Yartey left the court house saying they’ll continue with their advocacy.
Background
The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) in 2015 enforced a directive meant to regulate the use of alcohol among Ghanaians. However, aspects of their guidelines prevent celebrities from advertising for alcoholic beverages.
The Authority had explained that due to the influential nature of these showbiz personalities, alcoholic advertisements they are involved in could push minors into alcoholism.
Representing the plaintiff Mark Darlington Osae, was Bobby Banson from the Robert Smith Law Group, while the Food and Drugs Authority was represented by Justine Amenuvor.
On November 11, 2022, Mark Darlington Osae, the manager of Reggie ‘N’ Bollie and Skrewfaze, filed a writ at the Supreme Court, describing the FDA’s 2015 regulations against alcoholic advertisement by celebrities as discriminatory against the creative arts industry.
The writ indicates that the FDA directive which orders that, “no well-known personality or professional shall be used in alcoholic beverage advertising,” is inconsistent with and in contravention of articles 17(1) and 17 (2) of the 1992 Constitution.
He contends that, Articles 17(1) and 17 (2) of the 1992 Constitution guarantee equality before the law and prohibit discrimination against persons on grounds of social or economic status, occupation, among others, and consequently makes the directive null, void, and unenforceable
The Chief Executive Officer of M. Y. Ceaser Company Limited, Dr. Ceaser, has said most of the cases recorded on a daily basis are “sexual weakness” among men which is a worrying issue.
Dr. Ceaser
According to Dr. Ceaser, sexual weaknesses are due to many factors which early detection of regular health check-ups may help.
He mentioned that diabetes, erectile dysfunction, high blood pressure and the food we consume daily are major causes except a few through accidents.
He said this during a media interaction on Friday,14th June,2024 at his clinic.
Dr. Ceaser who is the sole producer of Lina Energy Tea, and Ceaser Capsule said some unscrupulous people had taken advantage of infiltrating our markets with fake sexual enhancement products that have serious health implications for consumers.
He cautioned consumers to be mindful of their intake, especially odd hours which is becoming the regular habit of many people.
The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) says it has disbursed over GH₵300 million as claims payment to healthcare facilities nationwide.
This amount is said to cover “the claims vetted for higher tier facilities up to January 2024.”
“For lower tier facilities, the payments are within the acceptable three-month debt period.”
In a press release dated June 11, the Authority indicated that the release demonstrates NHIA’s commitment to maintaining the smooth operation of healthcare services and ensuring the sustainability of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
Acting Chief Executive, Dr Aboagye Da-Costa explained that the disbursement aims to enhance the quality of care provided to all NHIS members and support the operational needs of healthcare providers.
The NHIA acknowledged the cooperation and patience of all healthcare providers and assured them of continuous efforts to improve the efficiency and timeliness of claims processing and payments.

The Akufo-Addo/Bawumia-led government through the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) is offering free dialysis sessions for Children under 18 and Adults above 60 years.
This follows Parliament’s approval of an amount of Two Million Ghana Cedis (GH¢2,000,000.00) in the NHIA’s 2024 Allocation Formula to support needy and vulnerable patients seeking dialysis treatment.
In a statement issued and signed by the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the NHIA, Dr DaCosta Aboagye , said the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) through administrative arrangements has allocated an additional Two Million, four hundred thousand Ghana Cedis (GH¢2,400,000.00), under the Corporate Social Responsibility approved budget of the scheme to support this initiative.
He explained that the announcement is a significant enhancement to its health benefits coverage to include dialysis patients for a period of 6 months as follows: Vulnerable groups (patients aged below 18 and above 60) will receive all eight (8) free dialysis sessions per month under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) from June to December 2024.
He explained that the cost of dialysis for these categories upon verification of the actual patients on the dialysis is projected to be GH¢329,952 per month and by the end of December 2024, the cumulative cost is estimated to be approximately GH¢2.3 million.
Dr DaCosta Aboagye
According to him, Patients from Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), Cape Coast Teaching Hospital (CCTH), Efia Nkwanta Regional Hospital (ENRH), Ho Teaching Hospital (HTH) and Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH) except Korle Bu will receive two (2) dialysis sessions per month at GH¢982.00, that is, GH¢491 per session.
He added that the cost of dialysis for this treatment category is projected to be GH¢144,354 per month and by the end of December 2024, the cumulative cost is estimated to be approximately GH¢1.01 million.
Korle Bu Patients Benefit Subsidy
He further explained that Patients at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) will receive a subsidy for two dialysis sessions per month at GHS491.00, which is 50% of the cost per session (that is, GH¢245.50) due to a philanthropic gesture of GHS380.00 being offered to such patients as indicated on table 3 to address equity across all facilities.
“The cost of dialysis for this treatment category at KBTH is projected to be GH¢147,300 per month and by the end of December 2024, the cumulative cost is estimated to be approximately GH¢1.03 million” he said.
“This means a total of approximately GH¢4.4 million is being invested to support this initiative, adding the Government is committed to finding sustainable interventions to dealing with renal diseases and other illnesses not holistically covered under the NHIS manner, and will soon unveil a sustainable plan,” he said in the statement.
Some scenes from the eventA retired educationist, Nana Adu Asare, has appealed to the government to consider free distribution of sanitary pads and related materials to adolescent school girls as a major social intervention to encourage basic and second cycle schools’ enrolment, particularly in the rural communities across the country.
Hon.Nicolas Osei-Wusu speaking at the event
He explained that, the prevailing socio-economic difficulties being faced by parents of such children makes it challenging to cater for sanitary pads which are essential for them to ensure personal and environmental hygiene as well as boost their self-confidence while remaining in schools throughout their menstrual periods. Nana Adu Asare, who is also the head of the Nitnin Royal Family, made the appeal at Nintin in the Mampong Municipality during a forum to commemorate this year’s ‘World Menstrual Hygiene Day.
Nana Adu Asare described the initiative as historic and exemplary since it was the first time such an initiative has been seen in the area.
According to the retired educationist,
inadequate information about menstruation has had various socio-economic and educational consequences on the girls, school attendance, hygiene and environmental sanitation over the years.
He urged teachers to develop deepest understanding of their adolescent girl pupils during the monthly periods.
As part of this year’s commemoration of the Day, the Assembly Member for the Nitin Electoral Area, Nicholas Osei-Wusu, who is also a journalist, in partnership with Sunda Internation, dealers in sanitary products, organized separate fora for basic school pupils at Nintin and Hwidiem, the two communities constituting the Electoral Area.
The beneficiary girl pupils were from the Roman Catholic Primary, Presby Primary and Junior High and M/A Junior High Schools at Nintin as well as their counterparts at the Hwidiem M/A Primary and JHS.
The primary school girls were selected from the classes five and six.
At the fora at Nintin and Hwidiem, nurses and midwives took the girls through a practical demonstration of the most appropriate way of wearing and disposing off sanitary towels, how to keep personal and environmental hygiene and sanitation during the monthly period.
The girls and the female teachers from all the schools received a package containing sanitary pads that could last them a minimum of two monthly cycles as well as washing powder to keep them hygienic and health.
They each received also a copy of a handbook on ‘Hygiene and Sanitation’ with extra copies donated to the schools as teaching and learning material.
The Assembly Member for Nintin Electoral Area, Nicholas Osei-Wusu, thanked Sunda International for the partnership meant to bring some relief to the girls and their parents.
He called on government to, as a social intervention, waive off entirely the tax component of the prices of menstrual pads to make it highly affordable for pupils and students, noting that, making it completely free of child may not be sustainable in Ghana’s economic circumstance.
A Senior Staff Midwife of the Ghana Health Service, Madam Charity Azaare, who was one of the resource persons, called for increased public education on menstruation and its hygiene and health-related issues for everybody especially parents to support their daughters during that stage.
The ‘World Menstrual Hygiene Day’, was initiated by a German NGO, WASH, in 2013 but gained global recognition the following year.
The aim is to create an enhanced public awareness and education on the reality and importance of menstruation as a reproductive development of females starting from adolescent ages.
The day was fixed for world celebration on 28th May mainly to emphasize that menstruation has an average of 28-day cycle.
The ‘World Menstrual Day’ has fast gained national appreciation in recent years thereby generating increased public attention, awareness and education.
Professor Dr. Otchere Addai-Mensah, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), has commenced a legal action at the Kumasi High Court against Lawyer Kwame Adofo for causing irreparable damage to his reputation and image.
In a writ of summons filed on Monday, 27th May 2024, Prof. Addai-Mensah, who is the plaintiff, said the publications of falsehoods on his person by Kwame Adofo, who is the defendant, are defamatory and have caused him pain.
Professor Dr. Otchere Addai-Mensah
These publications by the defendant on his Facebook timeline, according to the KATH CEO in a statement of claim, have had effects on his person, adding that they amount to defamation of his character.
Background
Kwame Adofo, a lawyer, served as the legal representative of KATH for five years.
After expiration of his contract with KATH almost two years ago, the management of the hospital opened up for all qualified lawyers to apply for the position which was publicly advertised.
KATH, after fulfilling all procedures, including interviews of the applicants, selected Lawyer Nana Fredua Agyeman Osborne as its legal representative.
Prof.Addae Mensah
Lawyer Adofo has since the expiration of his contract with KATH, his former employer, taken to Facebook to berate and sometimes attack the integrity of the CEO, Prof. Otchere Addai-Mensah, including claims of financial impropriety.
Reliefs:
The KATH CEO, by his legal action, is asking the court to declare that the words and statements, as well as others, uttered and published by the defendant (Adofo) on his Facebook timeline and contained in statement of claim as defamatory of his (Addai-Mensah) character.
Prof. Addai-Mensah is asking the court to order the defendant to publish in three subsequent editions in the DailyGraphic newspaper unqualified retractions and apologies with same prominence given the issuance of the defamatory words.
Furthermore, the KATH CEO is asking the court to compel the defendant to immediately delete all the defamatory statements made on his person either directly or indirectly on his Facebook timeline.
The CEO is asking the court to grant him general damages of 3 million cedis.
Additionally, the CEO is asking the High Court to grant him exemplary damages of 2 million cedis for malicious conduct of the defendant in defaming him.
The KATH CEO is also asking for other costs to be awarded against the defendant, including legal costs and others the court may deem fit.
Accomplishments:
Prof. Addai-Mensah in the writ says he has been working as lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) for 16 years until his appointment as CEO of KATH about 18 months ago.
He noted that by sheer determination in life, he was awarded as an Associate Professor in Haematology at the Faculty of Allied, Health Sciences of KNUST.
The plaintiff says he was head of department for five years and later as Dean of Faculty and Vice Dean of students and also Deputy Director Students Affairs at KNUST.
Prof. Addai-Mensah was Vice-President of the University Teachers Association of Ghana and President of the KNUST.
The KATH CEO is also a member of the Governing Council of the Nurses and Midwives Council of Ghana.Source: Michael Ofosu-Afriyie
EBENAGE HERBAL Production and Consult (EHPC) has launched a strategic training programme in Kumasi to equip its labour force with modern techniques necessary for enhancing the production of quality and evidence-based medicinal products for the general well-being of its customers.
The company, which manufactures leading herbal products including Hepa Plus, Pavi and Plasmox Mixture, considers periodic staff training as a conduit for providing them with relevant skills and cutting-edge scientific methods for quality products preparation.
Some scenes from the training workshop
Speaking at the launch of the four-month training programme last Thursday, Dr. Ebenezer Agyemang, founder of EHPC, expressed optimism to transform his outfit into the status of the Centre for Plant Medicine Research (CPMR) at Mampong.
Felicia Agyemang,CEO
Over 100 participants were expected to benefit from the programme under the theme, “Optimising Efficiency and Quality in Herbal Medicine Production through Innovative Consultation Strategies”. It was attended by high-profile personalities from both academia and industry who commended EHPC for its great strides.
Dr. Ebenezer Agyemang, Founder speaking at the workshop
Ebenage Herbal Production and Consult organised the programme in partnership with the Commission for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (CTVET), Ghana Skills Development Fund (GSDF) and Centre for Plant Medicine Research (CPMR).
It coincided with the 10th anniversary celebration of EHPC which, according to its CEO, Felicia Agyemang, marks a significant milestone as it embarks on a transformation initiative aimed at elevating the standards and efficiency of herbal medicine production in the country.
Head of Department, Herbal Medicine, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Prof. Isaac Kingsley Amponsah, who shared thoughts on ‘Building Career in Herbal Medicine, Bridging the Gap Between Industry and Academia’, commended Dr. Ebenezer Agyemang for making good of the training he was given.
According to him, the use of herbal medicines for the treatment of diseases is as old as man’s existence, and expressed delight at the progress made in the development of herbal medicines to the extent that there are conventional medicines that have come from herbal medicines.
This success, he noted, was achieved through the collaboration between research institutions, universities and the traditional medical knowledge holders, stressing that the best way to live healthy is to always use natural products as the body easily adapt to their mechanisms.
Prof. Amponsah observed that even though herbal medicine was in obscurity decades ago, through collaborative efforts, today, it can stand the test of time, especially in the face of the emergence of diseases some of which the world does not have an answer to.
According to him, Ghana is not only one of the best herbal medicine manufacturers in Africa, but also, currently it is leading in the integration of herbal medicine into mainstream conventional medical care.
In his remarks, Prof. Alex Asase, Executive Director, CPMR, noted that herbal medicine is not an inherited thing but part of Ghanaian culture which plays a pivotal role in its primary healthcare as well as for many developed countries.
He pointed out that Ghana, being at the centre of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFA), will benefit a lot from herbal medicine if it positions itself well.
The CPMR boss singled out quality as one of the major challenges facing herbal medicine manufacturers, stressing that, “Quality is important, efficacy is also important because we don’t want to just have herbal medicine as it used to be several centuries ago. We want to package it better. We want to make sure that the standards are very high.”
This, he said, is linked to adequate training to deliver good quality products that are efficacious, and commended the government through the Ministry of Health for promoting herbal medicine through various processes.
He also identified lack of raw materials and other substitutes as a challenge which he attributed to the extinction of the plant material that the herbalists have been using, thereby forcing them to use inferior materials.
“We need to go international, therefore, we have to improve on the quality of our products, and I am happy that at the end of this training we will be able to move at another level towards this agenda. Our team of dedicated facilitators for this training would be providing training in different areas that will help move towards this agenda,” he stated.
In brief comments, Professor Joshua Boateng, University of Greenwich, UK, threw a challenge to herbal medicine manufacturers to find a new microbial product that will break the cycle of antibiotic resistance, indicating that anyone who succeeds will likely win a Nobel Prize.
On his part, Samuel Amate, Project Monitoring and Evaluation Officer, Ghana Skills Development Fund (GSDF), said the training would be practically done in order for the participants to get knowledge and skills to advance the standard of herbal medicine.
While appealing to the participants to be actively involved in the training, Mr. Amate projected that the participants will reduce waste and also enhance productivity at the end of the programme.
The attention of the management of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) has been drawn to a petition issued by one Kwame Adofo of the Holy Trinity Chambers in Kumasi, addressed to His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Ghana, copied to the Chief of Staff, Jubilee House, and the Hon. Minister of Health and published in a section of the media.
In the petition under reference, the said Adofo, who until 31st December 2023, was the hospital’s lawyer, claimed that his request was based on the fact that Prof. Addai-Mensah has since his assumption of office in December, 2022, misappropriated funds and flouted the country’s procurement law on several occasions.
Prof.Addae Mensah
The management of the hospital wishes to state unequivocally that Mr Adofo’s petition is without merit and should, consequently, be dismissed outright as it is rigged with inaccuracies, misinterpretations and conjectures.
Management wants to place on record that Prof. Addai-Mensah has since his appointment performed with distinction and operated within his mandate and administrative powers to the admiration of the various stakeholders of the hospital.
His transformative drive within the short time that he has been at post has not only helped to improve the operations of the hospital but also elevated its image through the enhancement of quality clinical care delivery, infrastructure upgrading and improved staff welfare among others, on a scale unmatched in the recent history of the hospital.
What is quite perplexing is that Mr. Adofo started making some of the unfounded allegations against the new CEO on social media, his privileged access to hospital management notwithstanding, whiles still under contract with the hospital in his capacity as the hospital’s lawyer.
It is on account of this that the hospital was compelled to report his conduct to the General Legal Council and also caused its new lawyers to institute a separate action against him at the High Court in Kumasi. Both cases are still pending but in direct response to the allegations raised in his petition, management will like to state as follows;
The Chief Executive has not withdrawn any Ghc 300,000.00 which he has not been able to account to the Board of the hospital. Cogent submissions had been made by him to the Board on how the money was used in furtherance of the operations of the hospital at a meeting held on 26th October, 2023.
It is instructive to note that similar executive engagements in furtherance of the hospital operations had been undertaken by previous CEOs without any issues being raised.
Mr. Adofo’s claim that the CEO was involved in procurement breaches could not have been farthest from the truth. Yes, one Prince Ankomah Kissi, the accountant of one of the 15 departments at the hospital, was detected to have registered a company, Prinky Star Enterprise, that was supplying maintenance materials to the hospital. The detection was made by hospital management itself and not any other person.
Given that he was not in any way involved in the procurement processes of the hospital, be it directly or indirectly, he was given a formal warning to desist from such acts in the future and his company was blacklisted and delisted from the hospital’s list of suppliers as part of the sanctions against him. Payments made to the company was only in respect of items already supplied and used for various maintenance works at the hospital. All the records show that the company fairly and competitively got the orders it won and there was nothing whatsoever untoward in the processes leading to the award of the contracts before it was blacklisted.
It must also be placed on record that bids are submitted by, and orders for the supply ofgoods and services are awarded to companies and not their owners and so it is not possible for the CEO to know the persons behind the hundreds of awards he signs on regular basis. With a procurement budget of around Gh₵ 100m per annum, the contract awarded to Prinky Stars was quite insignificant and any allegation to the effect that the CEO was conniving with him to fleece the hospital could best be described as a conjecture.
It must also be stressed that similar incidents that happened before his assumption of office was handled in virtually the same manner and one wonders why meanings are being read into the Prinky Star case. There has not been any violation of the country’s Procurement Act as far as the case under reference is concerned and any claim to the contrary is only a misinterpretation of the law.
The fact that during the tenure of the current CEO, the hospital had maintained it maturitystatus by the Public Procurement Authority (PPA) and won a number of national and international awards in procurement best practices are a testament of his management’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of the hospital’s procurement credentials.
It is not for nothing that for instance the hospital won the Gold Award in Excellence in Procurement and Supply Chain (Healthcare category) at the 2023 Africa Procurement and Supply Chain Awards.
Mr. Adofo’s claim that the CEO is using the name of the Asantehene to raise funds under the Heal Komfo Anokye Project and has failed to render accounts to the KATH Board is one of the most confounding false claims in his petition. The KATH Board had at all material times been briefed about the project right from the conceptualization stage to the commencement of execution at its monthly meetings.
The Asantehene himself launched the fundraising campaign at the hospital on 10th November, 2023, and has since led the drive to mobilise funds for the project. The Otumfuo’s Hiahene is the representative of the Asantehene on the Heal Komfo Anokye Project (HeKAP) team mandated by the Manhyia Palace oversee the project.
The membership of the team also include one member of the KATH Board. Neither the KATH Board nor Manhyia Palace has so far raised any issue about the accountability of the project funds and it is, therefore, incredulous that Mr Adofo is making such a claim.
What he has refused or failed to acknowledge is that the project is an intervention by the Asantehene, not the hospital, to comprehensively restore the 70-year “Gee” blocks for the very first time in the history of the hospital. It is being implemented by an entity separate from the hospital.
Just like a number of projects at the hospital being funded or executed by external entities, the accounts of such projects are separate from that of the hospital and their signatories are not restricted to officials of the hospital. The donations being made by philanthropists towards the Heal Komfo Anokye Project do not constitute a traditional source of revenue arising out of the tariffs set by the state or Parliament.
Even the hospital’s own Endowment Fund launched in December, 2018, had one of its signatories being its chairman who was a private businessman. It is, therefore, surprising that as the person who was the hospital’s lawyer from 2018 to 2023, he would claim that the same arrangement for the Heal Komfo Anokye Project constitute a violation of the country’s Public Financial Management Act.
Another falsehood perpetuated by Mr Adofo is the claim that the CEO made a private trip to Dubai but turned around to claim per diem from the hospital.
It is instructive to note that the said trip was an international medical equipment fair attended by other officials from the country’s health sector including those from the office of the Presidential Adviser on Health and the University of Ghana Medical Centre.
How could a participation in such an international event attended by other health officials in the country be deemed to be private?
The CEO duly informed the KATH Board at its meeting held on 25th January, 2024, before his trip and also gave a report on the outcome of his participation in the event when he returned.
The only “sin” of Prof. Addai-Mensah was that as humble and cost-conscious as he is, he had a sponsorship for an economy air ticket and, therefore, did not ask for one from the hospital hence the false assumption that he had embarked on a private trip.
The issue about the alleged attempt by the CEO to cause the withdrawal of the moneymeant for the P for R Network of Practice project is a clear case of lack of knowledge about the management of such projects at the hospital.
Historically, Project Coordinators are allowed to write for the release of funds meant for the execution of their projects after which they are enjoined to submit reports with all the necessary attachments indicating their activities and how the funds released to them were used.
Coordinators for previous and current projects have always used this process and there is nothing strange about the hospital’s lead for the P for R Network of Practice project using same.In concluding, the management of the hospital wishes to reiterate that Prof. Addai-Mensah has more than delivered to expectation.
His conduct has been exemplary, bold, visionary and above board. He is, therefore, more than ready and prepared for any probe into his stewardship of the hospital which, without any shred of doubt, can be said to have been sterling so far signed on behalf of management board.
