The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, and his wife, Pastor Folu Adeboye, have donated three complete dialysis machines to the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) in Edo State.
The donation is expected to strengthen the hospital’s capacity to provide renal care to patients requiring dialysis treatment.
UBTH confirmed the donation, describing the equipment as a significant addition to its healthcare facilities.
Three Dialysis Machines Delivered
The hospital received three complete sets of dialysis machines as part of the donation from the Adeboyes.
Dialysis machines are essential in the treatment of patients whose kidneys are no longer able to adequately filter waste and excess fluid from the blood.
The equipment is expected to increase the hospital’s capacity to provide treatment to patients suffering from kidney failure.
Adeboyes’ Support For Healthcare
The donation is part of the wider charitable activities associated with the RCCG leadership.
Pastor Adeboye and his wife have previously supported healthcare initiatives and institutions through donations and other interventions.
The latest contribution comes at a time when access to affordable renal care remains a major concern for many Nigerians.
Dialysis treatment can be expensive for patients who require regular sessions, while the availability and maintenance of dialysis equipment remain important challenges for hospitals across the country.
UBTH Welcomes Intervention
The hospital has acknowledged the importance of the donation to its renal-care services.
With additional machines, the hospital can potentially accommodate more patients and improve the availability of dialysis services.
UBTH is one of Nigeria’s major tertiary healthcare institutions and serves patients from Edo State and neighbouring parts of the country.
Growing Need For Renal Care
Kidney-related illnesses have become an increasing public-health concern in Nigeria.
Patients with advanced kidney disease may require regular dialysis while awaiting recovery or, in some cases, a kidney transplant.
The cost of treatment, availability of equipment and shortage of specialised healthcare resources can make access difficult for patients, particularly those from low-income households.
The Adeboyes’ donation therefore provides additional equipment that can contribute to expanding access to renal treatment at UBTH.
