Private healthcare providers in the country are threatening to sue the National Health Insurance Authority to have the court compel the authority to pay all monies owed them.
According to the private companies, known as the Responsive Healthcare Service Providers Association of Ghana and the Private Health Facilities Association of Ghana, the debts owed them accrued over a 10-month period.
They have given government a 2-week ultimate to cause the NHIA to pay them their monies or face their wrath.
The Executive Director for the Responsive Healthcare Services of Ghana, Joseph Christian Amoah who addressed a news conference in Kumasi said members are being taken to court by GRA, SSNIT and other regulatory authorities making them redundant.
According to executives of the groups, their members have been dragged to court by the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and the Social Security National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) due to their inability to fulfil their obligations to these regulatory agencies while their funds are locked up with the NHIA.
