Project Description
This project aims to address the rising burden of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in Nigeria by establishing accessible, affordable and high-quality dialysis care in underserved regions. For most Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients, dialysis is a vital and often life-sustaining treatment. However, access to dialysis remains severely limited across much of the country. The majority of existing dialysis services are located in underfunded public hospitals, leading to overcrowding, long wait times, and limited treatment availability due to equipment downtime or unavaliability of dialysis consumables. Sometimes, strikes completely shutdown operations. Many patients are forced to travel great distances, thereby exposed to unsafe treatment pathways. They incur more cost in addition to treatment costs, which exercebates their financial burdern. Ultimately they experience inconsistent care that negatively impacts their health outcomes.
The 4-Bed Dialysis Centre Project is a strategic initiative designed to bridge this access gap by establishing a purpose-built, community-focused dialysis facility equipped to deliver high-quality and consistent haemodialysis care. Located in Port Harcourt, the centre will be fitted with four modern dialysis machines and operate multiple shifts daily, making it capable of serving a significant number of patients each week. The dialysis centre will follow strict clinical protocols to ensure safe, effective, and affordable dialysis treatment tailored to the needs of each patient.
