“The foundation is set up to take succour to those with kidney issues that require some assistance, especially financially. And we all know that kidney malfunction is one of the expensive ailments anyone could have and it has no regard for the financial status of the victims. They often need some push and support to be able to cope with the cost of consumables,’’ he said.

In his remarks, the Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Dr Mustapha Hikima, while thanking the foundation for the gesture, said the consumables will be judiciously used in treating the patients.
