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
