President Bola Tinubu has approved a reduction in the cost of kidney dialysis from fifty thousand naira to twelve thousand naira in federal hospitals across the country. The announcement was made by his Special Adviser on Policy Information, Daniel Bwala, on Monday.
Bwala said the subsidy is already being implemented in major hospitals across the six geopolitical zones, including the University College Hospital in Ibadan, Lagos University Teaching Hospital, the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, and others.

He added that more federal medical centres and teaching hospitals will be included before the end of the year to widen access to the scheme.
The Presidency said the measure, along with free caesarean sections in federal hospitals, reflects the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda aimed at cutting healthcare costs and saving lives.
