The Dialysis Centre at the Sunyani Teaching Hospital has recorded 114 cases of kidney-related diseases this year, according to Pastor Jefferson Kwasi Agbotro, a health professional at the facility.
He noted that all the patients are currently undergoing dialysis, adding that in 2024 alone, 58 clients were also placed on dialysis at the hospital.
Pastor Agbotro, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of the Friends of Health Association (FOHA), a health-focused non-governmental organisation, expressed concern over the increasing prevalence of kidney-related diseases.
Speaking at a health forum organised by the Living Grace Ministry for some of its church leaders at Fiapre in the Sunyani West Municipality, he cautioned the public against the excessive intake of energy drinks.
