Delta State Reduces Dialysis Costs to ₦38,000, Boosting Patient Access

Patients at Asaba Specialist Hospital are now benefiting from a more affordable path to life-saving kidney care, thanks to Delta State’s dialysis subsidy programme. The cost per dialysis session has dropped sharply to ₦38,000, down from the previous ₦70,000 and even below the earlier subsidized rate of ₦45,000.

In just over five months, the hospital has conducted more than 200 dialysis sessions, providing crucial support to residents living with chronic kidney disease.

Dr. Peace Ighosewe, Chief Medical Director of the hospital, noted that the government’s intervention has significantly improved access to treatment for patients.

She emphasized that the initiative forms part of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s broader strategy to make essential healthcare more affordable and widely available to the people of Delta State.
