TG Omori says dialysis can cost more than many low-paid workers could manage for a single treatment. While discussing his kidney failure and transplant wait, the Nigerian music video director broke down the financial pressure behind his care.
At certain hospitals, one dialysis treatment can run from N50,000 to N70,000. His private clinic charged far more, with each visit landing between N150,000 and N200,000.
For patients needing three treatments each week, the numbers get rough fast. Omori said weekly spending can reach roughly N500,000 to N600,000, leaving someone living on minimum wage with little realistic chance of covering even one round.
