He noted that one needs a disposable cup, a rubber band and fridge.
After testing positive for a kidney disease, he urged all to quickly visit the hospital for medical attention.
His education comes amidst the surge in price for dialysis at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. The price was moved from GH¢380 to GH¢765.42.
