The Private Health Facilities Association of Ghana has lamented the government’s failure to settle unpaid arrears of over 150 million cedis owed them since the beginning of the year 2025.
This comes on the back of harassment from the Ghana Revenue Authority and the Electricity Company of Ghana over their members’ inability to pay utility debt owed them. The association has attributed this failure to the National Health Insurance Authority’s failure to regulate Private Insurance companies, resulting in arrears owed to its members.
In an interview with Citi News on Friday, March 28, the General Secretary of the Association, Richard Frank-Torblu, emphasized that the association will not relent until the almost 200 million debt owed its members is paid.
“We have a lot of outstanding monies which haven’t been paid over the period since the beginning of this year, and the private health care providers across the country are in a serious situation. GRA has started attacking most of our facilities and taking a good number of our people to court, demanding their SSNIT contribution.
“ECG has also disconnected some of our facilities. We are struggling to provide quality healthcare service to Ghanaians. We are looking at about 150 million to 200 million cedis which hasn’t been paid to our members across the country.
“We have had a series of conversations with the leadership of NHIA, but they haven’t been forthcoming. The only time we will be comfortable is if these monies are paid,”he lamented.
