Did you know NSSF has become a ponzi scheme instead of a safety net? I was in shock and disbelief when NSSF called informing me that Dr Mpoza Edward at the Surgery in Naguru had submitted a report to NSSF denying my benefits without doing tests. I couldn't believe this could happen. NSSF doctors are really between a rock and a hard place. NSSF pays them to lie that workers don't qualify for their benefits without doing tests. It's surreal! They know what they're doing is unethical, but if they don't do it, NSSF might find a way to fire them. IGG needs take this matter and stop the ongoing mess at NSSF! I'm sending a message. It doesn't pay Dr Mpoza Edward at the Surgery in Naguru to cut corners by forging Workers' medical reports to deny their benefits without doing tests. Dr Owori Nelson and Dr Mpoza Edward should stop cutting corners when they submit workers medical reports to NSSF. They're are not doing tests or referring workers to specialists in most cases. We won't tire calling them out until they change their unethical work methods! You have put your reputation on the line. Medical malpractice will get you in a lot of trouble sooner. Choices have consequences!
