A three-person team from a foreign firm called Renaissance<\/i> is proposing to addresses the challenge of an increasing number of dialysis patients in Antigua.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

At this time, approximately 120 patients are dialysed daily at the Mount St. John Medical Center, and more patients are requiring the service every month.<\/p>\n

Dialysis is the filtering of the blood by machine when the kidneys have failed.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The proposal is to use the Edward Ward, at the old Holberton Hospital and possibly transform it into an annex to the MSJMC Dialysis Unit in the first phase of a transformative plan.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The\u00a0Renaissance<\/i>\u00a0firm has indicated its willingness to supply new dialysis machines to a transformed Edward Ward; to train the medical personnel on the use of the new machines that it would purchase; and, to provide the supporting equipment required, including a water treatment plant.<\/p>\n

The Cabinet has asked the firm to submit a detailed project document, and to allow it a short period to study the written proposal.<\/p>
