Okwuluora and the kidney early-care campaign

Credit for this film and the campaign behind it belongs to Emmanuel Onyeka Okoh, known across the South-East as Okwuluora. HealFast is sharing his work because the warning he has been repeating is the same one our clinicians meet on the road in Imo State: kidney disease is showing up earlier, treatment is expensive, and too many people only find out when dialysis is already the next step.

Okwuluora has spent years putting money, time, and his own health story into that gap. The Nation reported that he has screened more than 5,000 people for kidney function, blood sugar, and blood pressure to catch problems before they become a crisis. He has said he has sold a house and land to keep patients on dialysis, paid about N15 million in 2026 at the old Park Lane facility now part of ESUTH, and gathered hundreds of kidney patients in Enugu so public donations could reach people who cannot afford the next session. The Guardian covered one of those hospital gatherings, where he told Peter Obi that some patients would not last the week without dialysis.

His public events have a simple shape. Free blood pressure, blood sugar, and kidney tests. Cash help for dialysis. A loud argument that government and communities should stop waiting until families are already ruined. The Nation also noted the same pattern in Owerri: pharmacists and hospitals seeing kidney illness in younger people, not only the elderly. Hypertension, diabetes, self-medication, and late screening keep showing up as the common ground.

That is why this belongs on the HealFast blog. Our mobile clinic at #5 Athan Ogoh Avenue, New Owerri, is built for early contact: blood pressure, blood sugar, and the other checks people skip until they are already sick. HealCare is how family, friends, or a stranger can prepay that visit so the next screening is not another unpaid bill. Okwuluora is not a HealFast employee. He is a campaigner doing the hard, public part of this work, and this video is his. We are amplifying it, with his name on it, because early care saves kidneys, money, and lives.
