| Christian Ude |
Fifteen years ago, Christian Ude, was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus while in his Imo home town.
The condition worsened, needing him to have an urgent kidney transplant that will cost N17m following chronic kidney dysfunction.
The brother of the 30-year-old, Gideon Ude, said the family decided to bring Ude to Lagos to access health care services.
Gideon narrated: “In 2019 when my brother started discharging blood from his urinary organ, we rushed him to St Leo Catholic Hospital in Ikeja. They referred us to Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH).
“There, we were advised to take him to Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) in Idi-Araba.”
With dialysis twice in a week costing about N80,000, Gideon admitted that they have become cash-strapped.
According to him: “We have sold many properties, begged for help and everything we could do. But we are at the point where we need to call for help from people.”
He appealed to the public to save Ude from dying through donations on 6036291762, Ude Christian, Keystone Bank.
