Since
one of the possible negative consequences of the medical treatment is the
purchase of kidneys, the Ethiopian council of ministers has approved a bill
prohibiting the act. The Minister has also indicated that kidney dialysis
treatment is started at the Saint Paul Hospital nine months ago with the help
from the Egypt Government. It is also indicated that efforts are underway to
install additional dialysis machines at the Saint Paul Hospital.
