The CEO of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), Dr. Dacosta Aboagye, has refuted claims that the Authority is acting politically in order to support renal patients in need of dialysis, with a planned grant of over ¢2 million.

He clarified that the money had been allotted by parliament to help underprivileged patients and were not meant for propaganda purposes in an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Eyewitness News on Citi FM on Tuesday.

He went on to say that the authority was committed to everyone’s welfare and had no interest in getting involved in partisan politics.

“…What I will say is that I am not interested in engaging in any partisan politics on this. Because at the end of the day if it is my sister or my brother or my younger friend who is suffering from this and I am in a position to help I will not think politics. ”

“This is a problem we have in this country…for me parliament actually asked me to support the needy by the amount of money I have so I am just looking to disburse the money without any political lens to this,” he stated.
