Patients suffering from kidney problems in Pomeroon-Supenaam now have access to free dialysis services at the Suddie Public Hospital as the Ministry of Health commissioned the first ever dialysis centre in the Region yesterday.
Rajendra Singh of Cullen, who was the first patient to receive treatment on the dialysis machine, said it will save him travelling time and money. Singh said that he is required to undergo dialysis three times per week but due to its cost he can only afford one treatment per week. Singh commended the Government for bringing the initiative to the region.
Meanwhile, Minister of Health, Dr Frank Anthony said that the commissioning of the centre represents a significant boost to the region. He said that the Government has made tremendous strides in making the treatments available in the region.
