Setting Up a 2 Bed Dialysis Centre
This alarming statistic underscores the critical need for accessible and quality dialysis treatment options in Nigeria. Unfortunately, many of these individuals, particularly those of working age, face significant challenges in managing their condition. These challenges include the loss of employment and subsequent descent into poverty, exacerbated by the high cost and limited availability of treatment options.
Despite the pressing need, access to quality dialysis treatment, the most common form of renal replacement therapy in Nigeria, remains fraught with difficulties. These include a shortage of adequately trained personnel, poor administration and management of dialysis centres, and unpredictable treatment services, especially in public facilities.
The establishment of a new dialysis centre is thus essential to address these challenges. By setting up a state-of-the-art facility, we aim to increase the accessibility of safe and quality dialysis treatment for kidney disease patients. This centre will be developed according to best practices and designed to meet patients’ expectations for safe, high-quality, predictable, and compassionate care.
Access to quality dialysis treatment which is the commonest form of renal replacement therapy in Nigeria is challenging. There is also shortage of adequately trained personnel, poor administration or management, lack of predictable dialysis treatment services especially in public canters.
Setting up this Dialysis centre would increase accessibility of safe and quality dialysis among kidney disease patients. This centre must therefore be set up according to best practices and to meet the patients’ full expectation of safe, quality, predictable and compassionate care.
The scope of this project is therefore to set up an ultra modern Dialysis centre that will provide safe, quality, predictable and compassionate dialysis treat
Proposed Impact of the Dialysis Centre in Nigeria
Improved Access to Dialysis Treatment
Reduction in Mortality and Health Complications
Job Creation and Capacity Building
Project Objectives
Our broad objective is to establish an ultra-modern Dialysis centre that provides safe, quality, predictable, and compassionate dialysis treatment. We need to achieve the following objectives:
Supply and install Dialysis Machines
The proposed number of Dialysis machines to be supplied would depend on the size and scope of the project
Supply and install a Central Water Treatment System
The specification of the central water treatment would be based on the proposed number of Dialysis machines
Supply Dialysis Consumables and Test Kits for measuring Urea, Creatinine, and PVC
This includes Dialysis consumables as well as kits for measuring Urea, Creatinine, and PVC
Technical and Application Training
Carried out for Renal Nurses, Dialysis Technicians for safe operation and basic maintenance of Dialysis machines
Proposed Timeline
Phase 1: Preparation – 1 week
- Preparation of the Central Water Treatment System
- Preparation of Dialysis Consumables and Test Kits
Phase 2: Equipment Delivery/Installation – 3 weeks
- Piping works, electrical works, and installation of the Central Water Treatment System
