This was disclosed on Thursday by the Chief Medical Director (CMD) of facility, Professor Ahmed Ahidjo, in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.

Prof. Ahidjo also promised free kidney transplant to the first 20 patients on the line, and commended federal government for subsidising dialysis, which enables patients to pay N12,000, which is less than $8 as against $1,000 being charged elsewhere.

“This is not the first time UMTH is doing the transplant. The first time UMTH conducted kidney transplant was in August 2010, and now the hospital has come back with full force to resume the excercise,” he stated.

He said UMTH has the largest kidney center in the country with about 85-bed capacity.

“UMTH have four fully equipped theatre rooms, all for kidney transplant which were fully equipped with modern equipment,” Ahidjo said.

He commended the former chairman of TETFund for his support to the tertiary hospital. He further expressed gratitude to Governor Babagana Umara Zulum for his maximum supprot for the hospital.

He added that Governor Zulum also supported the hospital with special grant of N50 million for research on causes of kidney diseases in the State, which he said, according to findings, was likely as of result of diabetes, hypertension and dehydration from the excessive heat in the State. He encouraged residents to be taking adequate water in the hot season.

“The causes of kidney issues for now are diabetics, highpertension and the exact causes are not yet known, but many samples were taken to laboratories and the result is being awaited,” he said.

Dr Hasan Muhammed Dogo, who carried the successful kidney transplant on the patient alongside Prof Muhammed Gadam, Prof Haruna Ngadda, Dr Ahmed, Dr Zanna and Prof. Sani Hasan; said the transplant was conducted by the team between May 20 to 22 , 2025, in the hospital.

Dr Dogo, the team leader, said the transplant was successfully conducted because of the support of the CMD with all the other support they got from other individuals.
