As part of its 2025 Impact Project, Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen has launched a fundraising campaign to support kidney patients across Ghana.
The funds raised through this campaign will assist kidney disease patients who are struggling to afford life-saving treatments.
Speaking on the show, Baffour Kojo Ahenkorah, President of the Renal Patients Association, highlighted the severe financial burden dialysis costs have placed on many patients.
He noted that some have no source of income and depend on the support of family and loved ones for treatment.
Ahenkorah expressed concern over the rising rate of kidney disease among the younger generation, particularly those aged 16 to 45, and the continuous cycle of paying for dialysis, injections, and laboratory tests, all of which are costly.
Several patients, aged 29 to 40, who also shared their experiences on the show, echoed these challenges.
One patient, who has been on dialysis for the past 10 years, revealed that the disease began as malaria before being diagnosed as kidney failure.
As a seamstress, she has had to stop working due to her ill health, and with both of her parents having passed away, she has no family support.
To support this crucial cause, donations can be made to the account 0544334714, with the account name Dominic Kissie Yeboah.
