[00:07:23]s worried about increase in the number of renal failure patients.

[00:07:30]The southern regional health authority says it is seen a woring increase in the number of persons presenting with renal failure across the Manchester Clarindon and St. Elizabeth over the last two months. Nurser manager at the renal unit of the Manville Regional Hospital, Mara Davis Miller, revealed that 143 emergency renal cases were recorded in March, including 45 females and 98 males. The figures increased to 154 cases in April, comprising 62 females and 92 males. Mrs. Davis Miller raised her concerns last week while speaking at a renal unit nutrition seminar at the hospital.

[00:08:18]>> Majority of these patients are within the age the age gap of 20 to 40 years old. We need to take better care of ourselves. Majority of these patients and most of them came from Clarindon. So we need to pay better attention to our diet, what you consume, right? And when you when you talk to majority of these patients are going to tell you and forgive me for calling the names of some of these products, but consuming them so often, ever so often and rum, Red Bulls and RS. The issue has prompted a chief executive officer of the hospital, Alwin Miller, to advocate for a policy to govern meals brought to patients at the hospital by relatives. I have seen a gentleman in the emergency room and he has had a bottle of drink right in his arm cuddled like a baby. I won't tell you what kind of drink, but it's a drink he shouldn't be drinking because it's a sugary drink, right? And we know of persons while they are here they'll be drinking a lot of water which they also should not be doing. So I am saying these things as part of my own observation and part of what we will be moving to address as a hospital to curtail and to help those of you may present to get better faster.

[00:09:51]Meanwhile, medical residents at the hospital, Christristen Little and Caris Foster said the kidney transplants remain an option that could eliminate the need for diialysis for some patients despite the low public awareness.

Dialysis treatment currently cost between $14,200 per session with most patients requiring treatment three times a weekly.
