Renal dialysis is a service that is highly needed in the Maldives. For those people who require a renal dialysis due to renal failure, a continuous regular service needs to be provided safely so that their life can be continue normally.
In the Maldives, renal disease is highly prevalent and the need for dialysis keeps increasing day by day. At present, the Maldivian health system barely copes with the need and many patients seek service abroad on a routine.
ADK Hospital has had a history of providing this service. In the past, renal dialysis was provided at the hospital and had to be discontinued due to many unforeseen reasons. However, ADK Hospital’s commitment to bring this service back as a normal operation of the Hospital never faded away and as a result, today, the Hospital has re-initiated the services with modern technology.
The service was inaugurated in conjunction with the celebrations of ADK’s 25thanniversary in health care.
A regular dialysis patient, Ms Fathmath Rasheedha inaugurated the service on 15 March 2012. The patient also was the first patient to undergo renal dialysis at the current settings at ADK. She expressed her appreciation and thanks to ADK for giving her the opportunity.
ADK Hospital plans to further improve the service and increase the capacity of the dialysis services in the future.
