Useful Information / FAQ
Upon entering the dialysis clinic, a nurse will check your blood pressure, body weight, temperature, and pulse. Then you’ll be escorted to a dialysis room, where you’ll be connected with a dialysis machine via the port. For the next three to five hours your blood will be cleansed by the dialyzer machine. During your dialysis sessions, you'll sit or lie on a armchair or bed.
Some people report that they feel a little lightheaded during dialysis treatment. However, many people find the treatment to be pain-free and even relaxing. All our dialysis clinics have televisions and free Wi-Fi for use with a mobile device (please ask the staff for details). You may read, or talk to other patients.
Please use headphones while you watching TV or listening to the radio, so as not to disturb other patients.
It is very important that you follow the unit’s strict handwashing and infection control programme. This will ensure your health and that of your family and fellow patients.
Visitors are encouraged to make use of the waiting rooms outside the treatment rooms, or general lounges in the center reception areas. Visitors are discouraged from entering treatment areas, for maintenance of strict infection control measures.
We recommend that you leave valuables such as jewellery or large sums of money at home. Dialysis facilities are not equipped with safes and while every effort is made to protect your belongings, we can not take responsibility for any losses.
