How much does Dialysis treatment cost in developing countries

The cost of dialysis treatment is dependent upon the country where the treatment is taking place.

As a great deal of the cost of the consumables is related to the import duty placed on certain medical consumables. This has a major and negative impact on the patient which in these countries has the responsibility of the payment of their life saving treatment. A dialysis patient who does not get treatment for 2 weeks is certainly not going to survive even if they are awake. The toxins in the body have already poisoned everything that any treatment which is performed has no potential of making any difference.
So this is a critical care treatment that a patient needs to survive is they are to live. Otherwise its certain death.

The other aspect of treatment cost is the way major dialysis companies are offering the treatment. Meaning the control the channel of supply of equipment, care and maintenance and finally the cost of the consumables needed to perform the treatment.
They use a free machine system, which then means the actual and total cost of the treatment is loaded onto the price of the consumables needed per treatment per patient times the number of sessions per seek.

Across Africa and many parts of the Middle East, Asia, South America etc are treating patient 2 times per week.

In developed countries its daily in some cases.

With the huge difference being dependent on the cost of the treatment itself and the way corporations seek to charge and make profits.

So what do we do to change this?

Firstly we offer very similar quality products that are lower in their initial cost, which then translates to lower duty payment for the treatment. We work with clinics, hospitals to develop a plan to stop relying on the free to use machine polity and instead use reconditioned machines or if possible buy new machines themselves.

This ensures they have control of all the major cost factors.

We then supply them with affordable consumables to use.

The other factors which depend on country to country are the cost of electricity and salaries of nursing staff.

Overall we can reduce the cost of dialysis treatment by 50% in many locations. Even higher in some instances.
