Health Advocate and host of UTV's ''My Health My Life'' and Okay FM's 'Mo Ho Ye', Abigail Ashley, who’s been battling with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) since 2007, has donated 200 pieces of bedsheets and pillows cases to both the Renal Unit and Medical Ward 1 at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

The donation was made through her foundation "Behind My Smiles” on World Kidney Day.

“The Bedsheets is just one of the problems, the major one is government intervention to make dialysis as management of Chronic Kidney Disease available, affordable, and accessible to all Chronic Kidney patients,” she stated.

“Korle Bu has been more like a second home in the last 15yrs, even when I thought it had all ended in December 2019, after the transplant, but No I still go to Korle Bu. Chronic Kidney Disease is not a child’s play. Let’s all get educated, encourage regular checkups and adopt the healthy lifestyle approach that’s the only way to protect the kidneys,” she added.

Abigail Ashley further said “I don’t do it because I have no tears but my greatest trophy is the tears I wipe away from people's faces”.
