Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has tasked the legislative arms of government to enact a new bill to help people with kidney disease and enact essential regulations to combat the country’s developing organ trafficking challenge.
Mr Obasanjo made the call on Tuesday while speaking on the conference theme, ‘Optimising Dialysis Therapy To Prolong Survival,’ at the 36th Annual General Meeting and Scientific Conference of the National Association of Nephrology held at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital.
He commended the body for its efforts in screening and educating the populace and its recurring partnerships aimed at lowering the disease’s prevalence, particularly in young people and children.
