Tinubu Subsidises Dialysis Treatment In Public Hospitals
President Bola Tinubu has approved a reduction in the price of each kidney dialysis session for patients, from N50,000 to N12,000, a spokesperson has said.
Daniel Bwala, a spokesperson to the president, made this known on Monday via his X handle.
The development, which will first commence in ten public hospitals, will provide relief to thousands of Nigerians battling kidney-related diseases, many of whom cannot pay for the dialysis.
“More federal medical centres and teaching hospitals will be added before the end of the year to widen access nationwide.
”It would be recalled that last year, President Tinubu also approved free cesarean sections (C-sections) for pregnant women in federal hospitals, a bold step aimed at boosting maternal healthcare and reducing preventable maternal deaths,” Mr Bwala wrote.
