Sustainable Health Education and Interventions for Lifetime Development (SHEILD), a not-for-profit organisation, together with other partners, has established a GH¢5.8 million kidney dialysis centre at the Tetteh Quarshie Memorial Hospital in Akuapem-Mampong, Eastern Region.
The centre aims to enhance the management of end-stage renal failure in the region and surrounding areas, where over 300,000 people suffer from chronic kidney disease but face severely limited treatment options.
Partners involved in the project include Enterprise Group PLC, Volta River Authority, National Petroleum Authority, Kalmoni Foundation, Revna Bioscience, and individual sponsors.
The project comprises four advanced dialysis units with a treatment facility equipped with tubing, blood, dialysate and anticoagulant pumps, dialyzers, monitors, and a water purification system.
