Cut Dialysis Costs by 40% —

East African Clinics Show How

When Kenyan clinics have to choose between buying extra dialyzers or paying staff salaries, something is broken. Imported brands arrive in small, erratic shipments; every box attracts new duties and distributor mark-ups. SHK Medical fixes that by delivering OEM-quality supplies in bulk—slashing per-session cost by up to 40% and keeping stock rooms full.

The Old Model (Why Costs Stay High)

Traditional supply sources such as Nairobi X-Ray and Kenusa Medical do supply the region, however their small-order approach locking clinics into placement schemes:

• Premium unit prices

• Extended lead times, and stock limitations

• No volume leverage, (fixed by manufacturer)

5 Fast Wins With SHK Medical

1. Bulk Contracts – Lock in pricing for 6–12 months; pay 30–40% less per session.

2. Local Concentrate Production – SHK engineers can install turnkey mixers so you import raw salts, not heavy finished liquids.
