Yobe residents beg Buni for dialysis centre as kidney disease crisis persists

Communities in Yobe State are calling on Governor Mai Mala Buni to establish a dialysis facility in Gashua to address an ongoing kidney disease problem affecting residents. Currently, patients suffering from kidney ailments must undertake lengthy journeys to access dialysis treatment, creating significant hardship and financial burden on families. The absence of local medical infrastructure has left vulnerable populations without adequate healthcare options for managing this chronic condition.

Access to essential medical services like dialysis is critical for patient survival, and the lack of local facilities in underserved regions highlights broader healthcare infrastructure gaps in Nigeria.
