Dialysis at Saifee Hospital Tanzania

Saifee Hospital Tanzania provides dialysis, a lifesaving treatment for patients with chronic kidney failure. The center is a hospital-based unit with 14 dialysis stations. We offer hemodialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) treatments to a diverse group of adult patients who have chronic - or long-term - kidney failure.
Dialysis does the work of the kidneys by cleansing the blood - removing waste and excess water. There are two types of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. In hemodialysis, the patient's blood is passed through an artificial kidney machine, and the procedure is performed in a hospital or similar facility. In peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), the blood is filtered within the patient's abdomen and the dialysis fluid is exchanged through a catheter. Patients can do CAPD at home.
Dialysis care at Saifee Hospital Tanzania is provided by a team of professionals, including nephrologists (physicians specializing in kidney diseases), registered nurses, certified technicians, registered dietitians and a qualified Biomedical engineers to support the equipments. Our goal is to maintain and improve the overall health and quality of life for patients with end-stage renal disease. To maintain our high standards of operation and patient care, we continually monitor patient satisfaction and the quality of our clinical services.
