He mentioned that new national guidelines on organ transplants would soon be introduced, expressing concerns about the increasing cases of kidney problems and unethical practices in organ transplants in the country.
The minister emphasized the Federal Government’s commitment to health initiatives and praised Nisa Medical Group for its efforts to prevent kidney-related health issues.
He said, “The number of patients affected by chronic kidney disease was estimated to be 843.6 million worldwide as of 2017.
“In Nigeria, the leading causes of kidney disease are high blood pressure, hypertension, diabetes, and infections causing inflammation in the kidneys, such as glomerulonephritis, which can be triggered by several agents.
“We strongly support today’s initiative and pledge to continue backing such efforts.
“It’s a time for renewal and optimism, considering past developments and current events on social media.”
At the event, the CEO of Nisa Medical Group, Ibrahim Wada, in collaboration with the Clarion Call Care Foundation, urged the Federal Government to present the guidelines on this initiative and called for collective efforts.
Wada, who has been involved in the transplant field and working with living kidney donors for about ten years, stressed the importance of celebrating those who selflessly donate their organs without financial motivation.
He added, “Let those who participate understand that the world is watching us, and we can lead in this field.
“The Nigerian Kidney Transplantation Programme can be exemplary. We need the Federal Government to establish the guidelines.
“Woe to those who do not follow the guidelines, as the government has the regulatory power to act against those who violate the rules.
