- Significant improvements in dialysis services have been reported by the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital’s management, who also intend to grow and improve the facility’s capacity to better serve patients, notably young patients.
- The hospital has been struggling with the lack of dialysis machines, just as many others. The hospital’s ability to handle a large number of patients is severely limited by this shortfall, which frequently leads to referrals to other healthcare facilities like the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in the Greater Accra Region.
- Prof. Otchere Addai Mensah, the hospital’s CEO, states that by the end of the month, the facility—which formerly had one and a half dialysis machines—expects to have twelve. He said these things on Tuesday, May 14, at a media briefing.
- As I mentioned earlier, we used to have one and a half dialysis machines; now, we have four. Three brand-new dialysis machines have been purchased by the hospital’s IGF, and we are awaiting them. A firm is providing us with two…Addai-Mensah stated, “We are hoping to get 12 dialysis machines by the end of this month, and I believe that we have made progress.”
- “One major thing we are looking at is dialysis for children. It appears dialysis for children does not exist, so we are looking at allowing children to live irrespective of the fact that they may have developed end-stage renal figure”, he stated.
