Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State says the Kidney Care Centre (KCC) in Ondo town has performed 2,571 sessions of dialysis since March 2014.
Mimiko said this on Wednesday in Akure while declaring open a two-day meeting of the State Council on Health, with the theme “Post MDGs: Sustaining Health Gains”.
He said that the centre charges N15,000 per dialysis session which, according to him, is not only the cheapest in Nigeria but half what is charged elsewhere across the country.
The governor said that KCC had established outreach centres in parts of the state to enlighten people on how to prevent kidney diseases.
