Celebrating 25 Years of unparalleled service
Adcem started in 1992 as an indigenous company to provide quality and affordable renal services in Nigeria. Adcem has built sustainable partnership with public institutions and private organizations in the provision and establishment of dialysis centers offering services at the fraction of the cost. Also, continuously adding value to the society through the provision of sustainable best practices.
We have also contributed immensely to the increase in the number of dialysis centers to reduce travel time from one state to another to undergo dialysis. At the period of Adcem’s incorporation in 1992, Nigeria had less than 10 functioning dialysis centers and a limited number of nephrologists. Today, there are over 100 dialysis centers amongst which more than 55% are serviced by us in terms of equipment and consumable supplies, the provision of technical support and offering of training.
Provision and maintenance of state of the art renal care facilities inclusive of dialysis equipment, consumables and drugs.
Pneumatic tube system and other innovative tools that facilitate improved service delivery in the healthcare sector.
Provision of training courses and events for medical professionals wishing to update their knowledge on clinical nephrology and technical support services.
World kidney day 2017
March 9, 2017
Theme: KIDNEY DISEASE AND OBESITY: HEALTHY LIFESTYLE FOR HEALTHY KIDNEYS
This year’s event was celebrated in collaboration with the following institutions: Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Bowen University Teaching Hospital Ogbomosho, St. Nicholas Hospital, Federal Medical Center, Abeokuta, and Kidney Foundation for Africa
Lectures were organized to educate people on obesity as a risk factor for kidney disease and the importance of imbibing healthy lifestyle choices. Emphasis was placed on the need for regular check-ups so as to ascertain the true state of one’s health, especially the kidneys. Screening exercises were also conducted for participants across the various centres.
The economy and you
59,000 Nigerian women die every year from pregnancy and childbirth according to the Center for Reproductive rights, and 1 in every 8 children dies before the age of 5. In Nigerian hospitals, kidney related diseases account for about 20% of deaths and malaria kills about 180,000 annually according to WHO data. These are disturbing statistics as a sizeable percentage of the Nigerian populace do not have access to good health care services. On the bright side, the current government at the center seems to have made healthcare delivery a priority. For one, they have promised to build or equip 10,000 primary health centers across the country with a budgetary allocation of 3.5% of the 6.07 trillion Naira budget for 2016. On the other hand the private health sector has also recorded a boost in their capacity to offer solutions with new entrepreneurs bringing in innovations with multinational specialist care centers opening up in different Nigerian cities.
