What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Ministry of Finance and health officials are investigating Psemas overcharging practices. Prime Minister Elijah Ngurare stated that he believes doctors and Psemas insiders are colluding to overcharge the government. He noted that N$4 billion has been used by Psemas, and a forensic investigation in 2021 flagged 84 doctors as outliers in their claims.

The investigation concerns the alleged misuse of large public funds within the national medical aid scheme. The lack of public release of a 2021 forensic report, which flagged 84 doctors, raises questions about accountability and fiscal oversight.
