In this powerful episode, we sit down with former Gambian international footballer John Bass, who shares his remarkable journey from the village fields of Daranka to representing The Gambia on the international stage. Learn how his promising career was suddenly interrupted by an end-stage renal failure diagnosis in 2018, and the life-saving kidney transplant that gave him a second chance. John discusses founding the John Bass Kidney Foundation (JBKF) and its four pillars of support: dialysis assistance, transplant facilitation, medication therapy, and public awareness. Discover how his personal challenge transformed into a mission to improve kidney healthcare across The Gambia, with ambitious goals including new dialysis centers and a specialized kidney care hospital.
