home dialysis in fiji

[Ash86]

Hi. My dad has diabetes and only 8% kidney function. There is only one centre for HD in Fiji, which is in Suva, around 250 km from our house. It is a private clinic and he has been told to seek a closer accommodation. There isn't any info or provision of Peritoneal Dialysis in Hospitals throughout Fiji. Is there any way we could use PD in Fiji. I just want to know the cost and the requirements for home use.

Hi Ash,

In the years back I met a man from Fiji who was having dialysis at my clinic. he told me he came temporary to train for home dialysis.

I think you need to find a Nephrologist in Fiji whom can collaborate with a non-profit dialysis clinic in the United States.

try researching well on dialysis resources Fiji first.. did you already see this?


New Dialysis Centre in Fiji to Save Lives


Ask them whether they would collaborate with a non-profit clinic in USA then come to USA with VISA temp for training for PD..
