Speaking on the motivation for the project, the students noted that they wanted to address the issue of inadequate dialysis machines in the country.
One of the three, Benjamin Yeboah, explained in a video that accessing government-owned machines is often very expensive due to the small number of dialysis machines.
Their project, therefore, seeks to offer healthcare services at a very low cost to patients suffering from kidney diseases.
