A Nigerian advocacy group, Ferdinand Effah Music Heritage Foundation, has called for the inclusion of regenerative stem cell medicine for children living with Autism into the National Health Insurance Scheme managed by the National Health Insurance Authority .
“These children and their families suffer tremendous stigmatisation and discrimination from society which further compound the challenges they go through, especially with the high cost of treatment for autism which remains a trauma to families affected by the condition,” he said.Autism has been identified as a complex developmental condition that involves persistent challenges in social interaction, speech and nonverbal communication, and restricted behaviors.
Many families of children with autism in Nigeria lamented the high cost of managing such condition which is considered one of the most ignored health issues in the country.Mr Effah said the ground-breaking development proffered under stem cell clinical therapy is more promising as hopes of children affected by the condition is beginning to see the much-awaited light.
This is really dangerous. We should not be encouraging this at all. Stem cell isn’t the way. Rather we should be learning more about how to adapt to neurodiversity. This is quackery
