Just diagnosed
Someone has just told you your kidneys have failed.
Or they have told your father, or your mother, and you are reading this from another country at an hour when you should be asleep.
The hard part
Three sessions a week. Four hours each. It does not stop.
That is the truth and it should not be softened. Everything after it is arrangeable: you will be assessed, given a schedule, and kept to it. Most people start within days, not weeks.
What to bring
| Recent blood results | However old |
|---|---|
| Referral letter | If you have one |
| List of medications | Photos are fine |
| Insurance details | If you have cover |
| Someone with you | The first visit is a lot |
If you have none of it, come anyway. Nothing on this list is a condition of being seen.
For families abroad
You're paying for this from five thousand miles away.
You want to know three things: that he came in, that the session ran clean, and that his numbers are steady. You should not have to ring Accra on a Sunday to find out.
Ask us and we will send you a short written update every week — attendance and the vitals that matter. In English, to your phone, wherever you are.
