The Ekosiisen Impact Project, an initiative under Asempa FM's flagship current affairs programme Ekosiisen, has intensified its support for renal patients across Ghana, following a distress call from the Renal Patients Association of Ghana.
Responding swiftly to an SOS appeal from the Association's President, Baffuor Kojo Ahenkorah, the team behind the Ekosiisen Impact Project has so far raised GHS100,000 to ease the financial burden of dialysis patients who continue to face life-threatening costs despite recent government interventions.
In 2024, the government of Ghana, through the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), began covering the cost of two dialysis sessions per week for all patients in public health facilities, a move widely welcomed by kidney patients and their families.
However, an additional and unavoidable expense remains: the cost of two essential injections.
