The Subsidiary Legislation Committee in Parliament has acknowledged that the recent increase in the price of dialysis treatment was an error.
The cost of a single dialysis session at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital had risen from GH¢380 to GH¢491, sparking concerns among patients who feared they would no longer be able to afford essential care.
Addressing the issue on the parliament floor, Committee Chairman Dr. Dominic Ayeni confirmed that the price hike was a mistake and assured that corrective measures would be taken.
‘I informed the committee that there were several errors in the legislation, including the dialysis price increase, which would be addressed through an addendum. I assured the Member of Parliament for Jomoro, Mintah Akandoh, that we are working to correct these errors and ensure that essential healthcare services remain accessible to all.’
