While narrating how he came to know about kidney failure, he said he had been suffering from high blood pressure for about five years. However, in 2023, he started feeling strange that he would throw up every time he ate.

He was therefore referred to Ridge Hospital, where he was admitted to the emergency room after several tests; there doctors diagnosed him with kidney failure.

A medical professional from the dialysis facility of the medical center disclosed that one could spend between GH¢15,000 and GH¢20,000 on dialysis.

The government should do something about these high bills, they are claiming lives. How is he going to get these enormous sums of money? This is always hectic. He has already spent GHC20,000 and they are asking for more which means it is just a bonus bill. This country is something of today
