GCOSA Donates Dialysis Machine to Badagry General Hospital
EKO HOT BLOG reports that during the unveiling, the president of the association, Atinuke Alex-Oni, explained the machine’s function, which cleanses impure blood from the body.
“The machine removes dirty blood, filters it through a dialyzer (artificial kidney), and returns the cleaned blood to your system. Without proper filtration, the contaminated blood can gradually poison your organs,” she noted.

Alex-Oni emphasized that those requiring dialysis should ideally undergo the procedure at least three times a week. However, she lamented the shortage of machines in Nigeria, adding, “It’s unfortunate that some patients have to wait up to three days for dialysis.”
She expressed joy in seeing the dialysis machine handed over to the hospital’s management.
Moye Olumide, Chairman of the GCOSA Planning Committee, highlighted the effort involved in making the donation a reality. “There were many meetings, approvals to secure, and other processes. We had to be physically present, but we thank God we are all here today, including our seniors from abroad.”
