A medical expert, Dr Temitope Okunola, has raised concern over the growing number of patients now presenting with liver or kidney failure.
The senior registrar at the Department of Family Medicine in Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba, Southwest Nigeria, said lately, patients often arrive at the hospital with no symptoms, only to discover that they have severe organ damage that could have been prevented if they had presented earlier.
He said this on Saturday at a preventive health initiative organised by the old student association of Ojokoro High School, held at the school’s premises in the Ijaye area of Lagos State.
