Kidney transplant is way cheaper than dialysisLifestyle diseases like hypertension and diabetes are costing ten per cent of Kenyans their kidneys. Jotham Adamba, once a nurse at the hospital, was the first ever person to undergo a kidney transplant from the facility 14 years ago. Jotham’s plans for kidney transplant began as soon as he was started on dialysis. Once one has end-stage kidney disease, they have one of two options; either dialysis or a kidney transplant. The retired nurse goes about his daily businesses and farming without any indication that he ever had a kidney transplant.
