Kidney Failure: Dr. Albert Ze Warns About Dialysis Costs for Cameroon

Dr. Albert Ze, a health economist, warns about the sustainability of dialysis costs for the Cameroonian government due to reduced patient expenses. He estimates that the annual cost for around 1,230 dialysis patients is approximately 596.55 million FCFA, which could exceed 2.4 billion FCFA with 5,000 patients. He emphasizes the importance of prevention to reduce this growing financial burden and questions the country's ability to sustain these expenses long-term.
