Great news! What is needed now is for govt to subsidize the procedure so that more people will benefit. These are the things govt should be subsidizing and not fuel. Govt can also help incorporate stem cell transplant into the health insurance scheme. But overall, prevention is better than cure. With more health education, we will have less and less cases of sickle cell anaemia. Well done to all those that made it possible. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Does anybody know how much this stem cell procedure cost? I think UBTH should create more awareness about what they are doing as regards this Stem cell stuff. |

The most pertinent question is will Jonathan or Shepopo or any member of their family go to UBTH to undergo a stem cell transplant? The last time shepopo had headache, we didnt see her for weeks cus she was being treated abroad. 1 Like |

Talk about positive side of things and forget about where Jonathan will treat himself or his family, the main thing is that sick ones have some element of hope. femogbangba: The most pertinent question is will Jonathan or Shepopo or any member of their family go to UBTH to undergo a stem cell transplant? 3 Likes |

femogbangba: The most pertinent question is will Jonathan or Shepopo or any member of their family go to UBTH to undergo a stem cell transplant?can Nigerial ever move forward when we keep mourning and whinning and nagging? Bro. no matter how standard our health system is upgraded to, people would still fly out for medical treatment. same reason why you hardly find black indigeneous pillots flying planes in Nigeria..... Blacks dont trust Blacks.. They believe the whites are super human. so upgrade the health system to 100%..people would still fly out. but that should not be an excuse for neglecting the health sector sha. |

UBTH should publicize this and create awareness......I bet they would receive more supports from NGOs and firms out there. This is a breakthrough for the Nigerian Health Sector. If only our government would be wise enough to fund this, but never, they would rather choose to buy bulletproof cars at an outrageous amount. Other countries out Nigeria can even come down here and patronize us. The Government should wake up! 1 Like |

signz:Thank you too..... Although, I heard from d NTA and that d actual total cost for this particular operation was #2.5million (although d UBTH would bear some of this cost). It seems the cost was increased this time around. The young boy in question was interviewed in that news item, and he has not been released cos he has not been able to fully pay his part of d cost... There has to be a Subsidy (Or rather a Susport System) that significantly reduces the associated costs for patients. Sickle Cell Ameania is a 'Black man' disease; and Nigeria has d largest carriers worldwide... 2 Likes |
