The Doobay Dialysis Centre is seeking donations to cover the cost of lifesaving dialysis treatments for some chronic kidney disease patients.
The Centre, located at Annandale, East Coast Demerara, has worked since 2011 toward providing treatment for patients who cannot afford dialysis treatment at private facilities.
The not-for-profit centre is run by Dr Budhendra Doobay, who recently made an appeal for donations to help support the treatment of patients who rely on the centre. He noted in a video uploaded to Facebook that the cost for treatment is US$75 per session for each patient and the centre is hoping that persons will donate to fund even one treatment for a patient. He said these donations can save lives, while noting that some patients cannot afford to pay at all for their treatment.
