A medical officer at the Trust Hospital, Dr Selasi Amegashie, has stressed the need for intensified campaigns as kidney-related cases are on the rise, especially among young people.
She noted that the rate at which kidney disease is causing havoc calls for concern and public awareness to help prevent it as much as possible.
Appearing on Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5 FM, the medical officer posited that prevention is crucial since the consequences of kidney disease are very dire. "There was a need for us to raise awareness about the condition and prevent it since kidney disease has dire consequences.
If we don't raise awareness to prevent kidney diseases, then we will have a health crisis," she stated.
