— UPDATED: May 28, 2024

Professor Kingsley Ekwueme, a British Nigerian, is a consultant urologist with a special interest in the minimally invasive surgical treatment of urological cancers using Robotic and Laparoscopic techniques.

A Consultant Urological and Robotic Surgeon, Prof. Kingsley Ekwueme, through the use of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, men will no longer die of prostate cancer.

Ekwueme who is the clinical lead surgeon for Urology at Glan Clwyd Hospital in Wales, UK, said it was the commonest cancer in men, adding that a laparoscopic surgery would not lead to impotency and blood loss.

Experience the latest cutting-edge method for prostate surgery!

There is no opening of the body, no blood spill, no damage to the veins, no long stay in the hospital. Just one night admission only.

The traditional method of treating prostate cancer in Nigeria involved open surgery, which resulted in significant blood loss and required patients to spend many days in the hospital. However, with the introduction of our innovative procedure, patients no longer need to undergo such invasive surgery. This new approach, which I have brought to Nigeria along with my British assistants, offers a more advanced and less invasive treatment option for prostate cancer.

One of the main issues with prostate cancer treatment is that, in addition to blood loss and many days in the hospital, men may become impotent and experience urinary incontinence.

‘My goal is to ensure that no man succumbs to prostate cancer, and I am committed to reshaping this outcome ~ Prof. Kingsley Ekwueme.

Dear Friends

While many countries have stemmed the tide and turned the corner on COVID-19, the United States, is a vortex of death and economic depression.

What is a public health issue has become heavily politicized, we cannot even agree on the life-preserving measures of wearing a simple cloth-mask.

The truth is self-evident

Today, in America, it’s all gone to hell, and the agent provocateur of this ‘American carnage’ is Donald J. Trump.

The U.S Gross Domestic Product (GDP) showed in the extraordinary second quarter, April through June of 2020, skid to an annualized rate of 32.9%. A historically poor showing in at least 145 years. That 32.9% percent represents the loss of a third of the economy.

With 157,000 deaths (still counting), California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, and Michigan, intensifying outbreaks have forced authorities to dial back their reopening plans and restrict business activity once again.

It must be exhausting with millions of infected and the lack of cohesive national strategy, America has become a global laughing stock.

The United States of America is now one giant cage where none of us can leave because no other countries will allow us in.

While many countries have stemmed the tide and turned the corner on COVID-19, the United States, is a vortex of death and economic depression. The truth is self-evident.

The patchwork quilt of state, local, and federal directives has left the general public bemused and bewildered.

What is a public health issue has become heavily politicized, we cannot even agree on the life-preserving measures of wearing a simple cloth-mask.

Not only the CDC, bullied into compliance with the White House, water down guidelines.

As I watch the deadly havoc visited on states like Florida, Texas, and Arizona, my thoughts wander to my dislike of craven politicians sacrificed public health to curry presidential favor.

Each of us has the moral obligation to stand up, speak up, and speak out ~ John Lewis.

Faced with a national emergency our country and leadership have reacted with one accord and vision.

These politicians knew better. A measure of how far we fall as a nation, and a scathing indictment the damage Trump has done to America as a union. Trump despises expertise. Even gone as far as to attempt to smear public health officials …a government that traffics in conspiracy theories, untruth, and unproven wonder cures.

Dear friends abroad, you don’t even want us to visit you right now you bare no blame, after all, we’re number one for all the wrong reasons. Meanwhile, I hold out hope for a better tomorrow and until I will day-dream of Paris and exotic locales.

Healthcare Insecurity and Potentially Even Financial Ruin

African Americans and other minorities do not fare well under the current system.

Millions of Americans are uninsured, while others have paper-thin policies that give even less coverage. For those with insurance, skyrocketing premiums and bureaucratic ineptitude are equal sources of frustration for many. We are all one illness or catastrophic accident away from healthcare insecurity and potentially even financial ruin.

African Americans and other minorities do not fare well under the current system

By Angela Brooks

We are never so vulnerable in life than when we are ill or infirm. When sickness and all his friends visit you or a loved one, it can be a severe test of a person’s internal fortitude. We have arguably the most advanced medical system; however, it is a far cry from being the best. The Bitterest Pill!

Millions of Americans are uninsured, while others have paper-thin policies that give even less coverage. For those with insurance, skyrocketing premiums and bureaucratic ineptitude are equal sources of frustration for many. We are all one illness or catastrophic accident away from healthcare insecurity and potentially even financial ruin.

African Americans and other minorities do not fare well under the current system. High infant mortality and a large number of black women die from cancer are problems that continue to bedevil our communities.

Two recent personal experiences have opened my eyes to the vagaries of the medical establishment. First, one morning I woke up in exquisite agony, I could barely crawl let alone walk. It was the kind of pain that only the Marquis de Sade could love.

My pile of bones made it to my HMO, where I was treated by another cookie-cutter doctor, not of my choosing. He nonchalantly ignored my pain then sent me home with a low dosage of Motrin. Presumed, I was not deemed worthy enough for opioids - days later, I returned in even worse shape, whereby an x-ray revealed a severe strain of a hip flexor muscle. It took me eight weeks to recover.

My next example was a matter of life and death. A close relative diagnosed with a brain tumor. The news was devastating, worse still a feckless HMO, suggested hospice care and sent their patient home to die. As my relatives' health declined harrowing days and nights, I spent in filthy and crowded emergency rooms populated by the homeless and drug abusers. Fortunately, my family provided not only a strong support system and advocacy but also sought more medical opinions, which may very well have saved a life.

It galls me that 'bean' counters and HMO doctors so easily wrote off a life

We deserve better. Good healthcare should not be a province of only the wealthy it should be a fundamental right. The for-profit pyramid of drug and insurance companies are at the heart of what is rotten with our healthcare system.

In a pivotal election year before people vote, only hope that they remember certain salient facts - only one party wants to gut Obama Care, which includes protection for those with preexisting conditions.

Healthcare is a right that should not be the purview of the rich and powerful. My recent personal experiences have made me realize that we are all within a scintilla of a medical emergency, and we can only hope there is an adequate safety net to catch us if we fall.
