The Ghana Kidney Association has voiced gratitude for the government’s decision to aid patients undergoing dialysis treatment as part of their renal care.

In a press release, the association expressed delight that while temporary, this support will be targeted at specific age groups.

Children under 18 years old and individuals aged 60 years and above will receive full support for their dialysis treatment. Patients aged 19 to 59 will be eligible for two free dialysis sessions per month.

This assistance will be accessible at designated hospitals, including Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, Tamale Teaching Hospital, Ho Teaching Hospital, and Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital.

While commending the government for this temporary relief, which is anticipated to last for the next 6 months, the Ghana Kidney Association called for a permanent solution that encompasses all patient categories.

The Association cited examples from other African countries, including Cameroon, Cote D’Ivoire, Kenya, Tanzania, and Sudan, where comprehensive support for dialysis patients is already established.

Additionally, the Association urged the government, particularly the Health Ministry, to accelerate the approval of a draft legislative framework for organ transplants. They stressed that organ transplant is the most cost-effective kidney replacement therapy and called for swift action from the current parliament.

The Ghana Kidney Association expressed hope that the reimbursement process for dialysis services would be efficient and devoid of delays, unlike some previous experiences with NHIA payments. They believe that a permanent solution and legislative support for organ transplants would significantly benefit kidney patients in Ghana.
