The Nigerian healthcare system has long weathered criticism, neglect, and, occasionally, outright skepticism.

However, amidst the challenges often overshadowing it, there exist remarkable and daily accomplishments within the medical realm.

It’s imperative to recognise that despite the occasional shortcomings, the calibre of Nigerian medical practitioners is undeniably exceptional.

Oluwaforijimi Adewale Amu, more popular as DJ Jimmy Jatt, is a testament to these recent triumphs.

Residing in the US, he represents just one of numerous individuals who have embarked on a remarkable journey through the Nigerian healthcare landscape.

From diagnosis to treatment and follow-up care, he attests to the unparalleled attention and expertise of the dedicated professionals at Zenith Medical and Kidney Centre in Lagos and Abuja.

This modern healthcare institution, envisioned by the visionary Dr. Olalekan Olatise, a seasoned Nephrologist and Internal Physician, boasts state-of-the-art facilities ensconced within 21st Century-themed hospital complexes.

Initially, selecting a Nigerian healthcare facility wasn’t DJ Jimmy Jatt’s primary intention, an inclination often aligned with the prevailing preference for seeking medical care abroad.

Dr. Thelma, a healthcare practitioner at Zenith Medical and Kidney Care, persuaded him.

She underlined the hospital’s unwavering commitment to comprehensive and holistic treatment.

Reflecting on his post-surgery experience, the 55-year-old DJ expressed profound gratitude for discovering the centre.

He appreciated the medical and surgical team led by Dr. Lekan Olatise, taking pride in his role as an advocate for the healthcare establishment.

“I am deeply impressed with the care I received here. I entrusted my life to them, and they safeguarded it,” he added.

He admitted that, initially, he harboured some apprehension about undergoing surgery in Nigeria.

After returning from the USA, he was pleasantly surprised to find fellow US citizens undergoing various medical procedures at the hospital.

Moreover, DJ Jimmy Jatt’s journey led him to a profound appreciation for life, emphasising that no one is assured of tomorrow.

His experience serves as a powerful demonstration of the potential for world-class medical care right here in Nigeria.

It reshaped perceptions about healthcare in the country and encouraged others to explore the remarkable possibilities available within their borders.

Speaking on the development, Olatise remarked that since 2015, when the centre commenced its kidney transplant programme, it has grown to surmount the various challenges associated with this novel interventional care.

He noted that the team has conducted kidney transplants for over 700 patients.

The Nephrologist noted that efforts are ongoing to expand the support to other patients who may be suffering from other organ failures apart from the kidney.
