Kidney transplant services

PMGH to offer kidney transplant

This was announced during a visit of a kidney specialist from the Birmingham Hospital in the United Kingdom.

However, this will also depend on how fast policies can be drafted and approved for the establishment of this new Kidney Transplant service.

PMGH and the PNG Kidney Foundation (PNGKF) are currently using dialysis to treat kidney patients.

Patients visit a dialysis center every three to four weeks where waste products and excess fluid from the blood are removed. It often involves diverting blood to a machine to be cleaned.
