The Healing Stripes Hospital isa specialised health care facilitywhere quality healthcare services are
provided at subsidized rates. The Hospital was established in May 2010 as part of its Christian Social
Reform. The hospital has attended to over13, 000 patients
5, 482 patients have received care free of charge through the church welfare
programme. The goal is to ensure that
quality healthcare is accessible, affordable and reliable to the community.
The dialysis centre,which added 10 more machines to its
operations,was opened in September 2013 to serve the needs of patients with
kidney disease. Statistics show that 30 million Nigerians are suffering from
kidney disease. However, only 200 machines are available to serve them, far
below the requirement of 12,000 machines. The expansion of the dialysis centre makes
a contribution of filling the gap.
To date, the dialysis centre has conducted 2,092 subsidized dialysis sessions and 102 freesessions. Partnering with some hospitals in India, the
centre has also successfully conducted 5 kidney transplants.

“The dedication of the dialysis centre is made possible from
the donation and goodwill of our partners,” said Dr. Ezinne, Chief Medical
Director of The Healing Stripes Hospital. “We are delighted to commissionthe centre
