A 24-year-old woman, Martha Koffa Amadosi, who hails from Ogori/Magongo local government area of Kogi State, has appealed to kind-hearted Nigerians to urgently come to her aid to raise N30m for a kidney transplant.
Making the appeal during an encounter, with the Kogi State Chief Executive Officer of Participation Initiative For Behavioural Change In Development (PIBCID), Akande Rachel Remilekun at the Female Surgical Ward of the Fedral Teaching Hospital, (FTH) Lokoja on Tuesday, Amadosi said her medical reports issued by Lagos Teaching Hospital (LUTH) and Zenith Hospital Abuja, indicated that she was being managed for chronic kidney disease and would require a renal transplant.
The medical report signed by a Consultant Nephrologist of the LUTH, Dr Oyebisi Oyekunle, stated that there was a history of nausea and vomiting, facial puffiness, hiccups and anorexia and is also associated with weight loss, reduction in urinary output, and passage of frothy urine.
The Consultant Nephrologist said that Amadosi would require more dialysis sessions and interventions, adding that the definite treatment would be a renal transplant which would require preliminary tests and post-operative investigations.
He said that an overhead cost of about N30m would be required, as well as post-operative medication.
“Above named is a known hypertensive patient, who was referred to our facility on account of vomiting, generalized body weakness, abdominal pain, and difficulty in breathing. There was associated weight loss, reduction in urinary output, and passage of frothy urine. There was also a history of pedal swelling and lack of blood for which she received three pints of blood.
“The definite treatment will be a renal transplant which will require preliminary tests and post-operative investigations. An overhead cost of about 30 million naira would be required, as well as post-operative medication,” Dr Oyekunle said in the medical report.
In it’s request for financial assistance for Amadosi, the Executive Officer of
PIBCID, Akande Rachel Remilekun said due to the complexity of the procedure and the ongoing medical expenses, the financial burden has become overwhelming for the patient family.
According to her, the recommended treatment plan includes a potential kidney transplant, which not only involves the cost of the surgery itself but also the significant expenses associated with pre-operative assessments, post-operative care, medications, and continuous medical follow-ups. These mounting medical costs have strained the family’s financial resources to the point that they cannot meet them alone.
“This is why we are reaching out to kind-hearted Nigerians with the hope that you can extend a helping hand in Amadosi’s desperate time of need. Your generous financial assistance would not only alleviate the immense financial burden that weighs heavily on the family’s shoulders but also provide them with a glimmer of hope for a healthier future.
“Meanwhile, financial support towards Amadosi’s kidney transplant can be sent to her GTB account number: 0451472804, Martha Koffa Amadosi.
Amadosi should be contacted via:
