Miira-cell et al: Why kidney failure will kill you in Nigeria

<p><strong>Kidney failure will kill you in Nigeria. Did you say tufiakwa? Did I hear you say that it is not your portion?</strong></p> <p><strong>You can say that again.</strong></p> <p><strong>I could have said that kidney failure may kill you, but I think we have passed that level. It may kill you if you have diabetes and high blood pressure. It may kill you if you live in a developing country like Nigeria with a high prevalence of communicable diseases like bacterial, parasitic, and viral infections. It may kill you if you live in Nigeria with less than 200 nephrologists for a population of over 200 million people. It may kill you if there are already 25 million Nigerians with kidney failure but less than 200 dialysis centers and less than 1000 dialysis machines across the country.</strong></p> <p><a href="https://rudolfogoookonkwo.medium.com/miira-cell-et-al-why-kidney-failure-will-kill-you-in-nigeria-fc684a00e1e9"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
