The Management of Frontiers Healthcare Services (FHS) has dismissed allegations of wrongdoing raised against the institution while operating the Covid-19 testing project at the Kotoka International Airport.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, October 24, FHS stressed the need to set the record straight following numerous allegations made by MP for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who took to social media to highlight certain corrupt activities that were allegedly perpetrated by the company.
While describing these allegation as “false, baseless, and a complete fabrication", Frontier Healthcare Services said "the reopening of the country's air borders in the midst of the pandemic was made possible by the introduction of this innovative system focused on arresting the potential inflow and onward transmission of the virus to the resident population of Ghana."
It added that “It is rather unfortunate that what ought to be hailed as one of the greatest achievements of our nation during the pandemic, has rather been wrought with so much controversy and negative press owing to the politically polarised nature of our dear nation."
FHS subsequently used the communique to address questions which have been raised on the awarding of contract, nature and quality of test done, and cost of test among others.
