Dialysis in Ghana since May 2020

What happens

A chair that is yours,
three times a week.

Not a queue, not a maybe, not a phone call on Thursday to ask whether there is space. A time, a chair, and the same nurses waiting for you.

What the four hours are You arrive and are weighed, you are needled, you spend four hours on the machine, then you come off, are weighed again and rest before going home. Arrive · weigh · needle Four hours on the machine Off · weigh · rest 0h 1h 2h 3h 4h

You will see those nurses more than a hundred and fifty times a year. Consultants come and go across this city; the nursing team is the constant, and in dialysis the nursing team is the treatment.

Bring something to do. Most people read, sleep, or watch something. It is four hours and it is boring, and boring is exactly what a good session feels like.

The water

120 litres,
every session.

Each session puts you across a membrane from about 120 litres of water — which means the water is not a utility here. It is the treatment. It arrives from the mains and reaches your chair six stages later.

The water treatment chain Water passes from the mains through a sediment filter, a softener and a carbon filter, then through reverse osmosis, into a distribution loop, and finally to the dialysis chairs. Mains Sediment Softener Carbon Reverse osmosis Loop Chairs

The dialyzer is yours alone. We do not reuse dialyzers.
