Health care services may become expensive for patrons when E-Levy is implemented. This is according to the Private Health Facilities Association of Ghana.
According to the Association, they also use mobile money services thus any extra charge has the potential to increase their expenditure.
General Secretary of the Association Frank-Torbu Richard in Interview with Bohyeba Afriyie on plan B Fm’s Ebanoosen stated that the law must be revised before it is implemented.
“We pay for goods and services through mobile money as hospitals and hence our operations will be impacted just like any Ghanaian or business. You know some of our patience pays with mobile money and the E-levy is
going to make it more expensive for them.”
“Nonetheless government can still have a way to see to the amendment of the E-Levy law though it has been assented to by the President.”
Frank-Torblu indicated that the levy will not solve the problems of the country as has been said by the government.
“It looks as if the E-Levy is going to solve all our problems in Ghana, but I don’t think E-Levy is a panacea to our development.” He concluded.
