Cost Factors effecting dialysis treatment
How much dialysis treatment costs is dependent on many factors, and is covered by another more specific article on this site.
The costs associated with dialysis are broken down in a few headings.
Import duties (are these levied on dialysis consumables in my country?)
Energy costs (does your country have higher than regional cost of energy?)
Medical staff costs (does your country have a shortage of trained dialysis medical staff?)
Rental costs (are the rental costs of buildings very high in your country and city?)
These are some of the key factors which have a external impact on the final cost, which the clinic/hospital has to cover in order to set out their pricing and offer a service to treat patients. Another factor is whether the clinic has a patient focussed approach to this critical care treatment. This final determining factor sets the outline of the final cost the clinic will set to offer to patients.
It is possible to have a sustainable and viable dialysis service offering to patients whilst keeping the costs low. The economic advantages to the patients are high and furthermore the clinic will always be full and busy as patients will follow a clinic where their total needs are being considered. SHK Medical has spent years in developing the strategies and formulas to assist clinic owners to develop a low treatment cost approach to dialysis.
