Dr. Balwant Singh’s Hospital (DBSH) is now offering dialysis services at a subsidised cost of $12,000 per session.
“We have decided to offer this because there is an increasing need for dialysis in Guyana, and there is an even greater need for dialysis to be done under adequate supervision which is done by our in-house nephrologist,” the hospital said in a press release that was issued yesterday.
It noted that its price per session is on par with that of the not-for-profit Doobay Dialysis Centre and cheaper than all other private centers. The release noted that the regulations of the Health Facilities Licensing Act require that every dialysis centre is supervised directly by a nephrologist and the hospital said it is the only private centre meeting this requirement.
