Breaking barriers to dialysis treatment

“There are typically three key elements which prevent patients from getting the care that they need: accessibility, awareness and affordability. And when it comes to improving accessibility, it is about bringing dialysis to the patients instead of making them come to us. Dialysis is a time consuming treatment – most patients will be on it three times a week for four hours per treatment, so previously, if you lived outside of Dar es Salaam, you would have to travel hours each day to receive treatment – which isn’t feasible. Over the past couple of years, we are now opening more regional treatment centres, and through ensuring a high quality of care, patients are able to receive dialysis and continue to live their life. We have patients that come at 5am for treatment, stay for four hours, and then go to do their day job,” Mr Kamath tells Your Health.
