Speaker Bagbin commissions expanded dialysis unit in Wa to tackle preventable kidney deaths

The initiative is expected to significantly enhance renal healthcare delivery in the Upper West Region and neighbouring parts of northern Ghana by expanding treatment capacity and improving access to specialised kidney care.

In partnership with the non-governmental organisation Sustainable Health Education and Interventions Limited (SHEILD), the Speaker of Parliament provided six brand-new dialysis machines and modern dialysis recliners in a major intervention aimed at improving access to life-saving kidney care and reducing preventable deaths in northern Ghana.

Sylvia Anie, said the project originated from a request made by the Speaker during a board meeting nearly two years ago for the organisation to extend its life-saving renal interventions to the Upper West Region.
