Bolgatanga Regional Hospital Cries for Dialysis Center | Health

Dr Akatibo indicated that the hospital already had the critical human resource to manage a dialysis centre.

He said the hospital already had critical care nurses, physician specialists with interest in kidney diseases and other medical officers who could effectively manage the dialysis centre.

Dr Akatibo said setting up a dialysis center was capital intensive, saying “looking at the prevailing economic situation in the country, it would be very difficult for the government to solely fund it”.

He, therefore, appealed to individuals, corporate entities, religious bodies and benevolent outfits to help the hospital establish the center to serve kidney patients.
