Oduneye Taiwo AbdulRahman, a 23-year-old university graduate diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, needs ₦25 million for an urgent kidney transplant.
A medical report by the Babcock University Teaching Hospital in Ogun State said the patient was diagnosed over a year ago in a peripheral hospital.
According to the report, signed by the Unit Consultant, Dr Uche-Chinomnso Michael, Taiwo has been on maintenance for dialysis pending renal transplant surgery.
An ongoing fundraising effort by family and friends has yielded about ₦10 million, which stands at 60% less the estimated medical cost.
