A lobby group has presented a petition to the National Hospital Insurance Fund at the Kenya Renal Conference 2018 in Mombasa.
The petition dubbed #EndTransplantMedsNightmareNow! wants NHIF to invest more in kidney transplants for its members rather than dialysis.
Renal Patient Society of Kenya chairman Seth Mc’Ligeyo says about 4.8 million Kenyans have some form of kidney disease.
Out of this, 10 per cent are chronic yet the patients are unaware.
