Let me break down how much it costs to care for kidney diseases
Dialysis is about 50K in federal institution, some facilities can be higher
Some private can be up to 100k, some high brow hospital charge like 150 to 200K per session
You need about 2 or 3 in a week
Dialysis is about 50K in federal institution, some facilities can be higher
Some private can be up to 100k, some high brow hospital charge like 150 to 200K per session
You need about 2 or 3 in a week
So Federal facility weekly - 150k, month - 450K
Private - 300K per week, 1.2 M per month
Highbrow - 450 to 600K pee week, 1.8 to 2.4 million per month
Medications let's say Federal - 100K per month, Highbrow - 150 to 200k
Private - 300K per week, 1.2 M per month
Highbrow - 450 to 600K pee week, 1.8 to 2.4 million per month
Medications let's say Federal - 100K per month, Highbrow - 150 to 200k
Talk of tests that will be done from Regular Electrolyte and urea, frequent Pcv check to see blood level
They'd also be on Erythropoietin injection at least twice weekly to boost blood level - A shot can be up to 10 to 30K per shot
Add admission fee.. add blood transfusion

Add admission fee.. add blood transfusion
At least to manage Kidney disease in Nigeria comfortably
For federal you'd spend at least 1 to 2 million every month ( add admission fees)
Imagine how much you will spend comfortably in private every month at least 2.5M to 3M
This is a wake up clarion call for us all
