Dumelo emphasized the need to include dialysis treatment in the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).

A widely circulated image on social media revealed that the price for dialysis had surged from GHC380 to GHC765, marking a 101 percent increase.

In response to the news, John Dumelo took to Twitter, questioning why dialysis treatment isn't included in the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). He believes that such an addition is both necessary and achievable.
