Belize's first ever Dialysis Clinic was opened in Orange Walk Town yesterday. The clinic is equipped with 16 Dialysis machines and has a Honduran Nephrologist in house.
16 dialysis machines in one facility - that's probably more than presently exist all through the country in private and public healthcare facilities.
So the opening of the new facility is a godsend, to the many Belizeans suffering from kidney disease who can't afford private dialysis, and can't get a space in the public programme.
Managing Partner of "Dialisis de Belice" Carlos Perrera told us they have enough space for patients and that the treatment is very affordable. But Perrera told us that this clinic is more than just an inexpensive treatment facility - it's another chance at long and fulfilling life.
The clinic has 16 dialysis machines and it can service up to 100 patients. It is a Belizean-owned company, directly affiliated with the chain named Dialisis de Honduras, which has nine (9) facilities in that ocuntry.
If you would like to make an appointment or get more information you can call 322-2400.
