Obaseki who said this on the occasion of the commemoration of World Kidney Day, marked on March 14, each year, noted that early detection of diseases saves costs and lives.
He added: “The only way to know if there are potential problems with your health is through a medical test. If there is a condition that poses a threat, you can spot it through tests and deal with it immediately. This way, you save yourself the agony, costs and other troubles that are associated with late detection of diseases.”
“Our goal is to take quality health care services to the doorsteps of our people irrespective of their location, so that sufferers of kidney disease and other ailments can easily access these centres for care,” he added. The World Kidney Day is a joint initiative of the International Society of Nephrology and the International Federation of Kidney Foundations and the day is set aside to raise awareness about the importance of the kidneys and how to reduce the frequency and impact of kidney disease and associated health problems worldwide.
