The family of 55-year-old Mrs Opeoluwa Dorcas has appealed to well-meaning Nigerians for financial support to enable her undergo a life-saving kidney transplant estimated to cost N45.1 million.
According to a medical report obtained by PUNCH Online on Monday, Dorcas was diagnosed with end-stage renal disease secondary to chronic glomerulonephritis.
Dorcas requires an urgent kidney transplant after her condition failed to improve despite undergoing regular dialysis.
The family said she has undergone more than 50 dialysis sessions, each costing N45,000, in addition to expenses for medications, blood transfusions, kidney function tests, echocardiograms and other medical procedures.
