The most common cause of chronic kidney disease in Nigeria is hypertension( high blood pressure). Grab your popcorn and chill water as we go on a journey through hypertension.
There is an epidemic of kidney failure. May Allah grant healing to those affected, providing them with the necessary medical care and financial support. For those who are not affected, may Allah protect us all from any life-threatening illnesses. Ameen ya Rabbi.

Please louder .Increase volume.
Every nursing procedure taken away due to institutional policy blocks patients' opportunity to get access to faster & better care — & creates a learning gap. Overworked House officers' time could have been repurposed. This is not efficient way of using human resources for health.
