Clinics
Dialysis clinic.
Our Approach to Dialysis
We are driven to provide the highest quality care for you through our comprehensive outpatient program run by our highly trained care team with nurses available for support.
Our integrated care team model includes registered nurses and a dietitian who works closely with Nephrologist Dr. Ibrahim Abdo Mohammed to ensure your treatment is comprehensive and comfortable. They start your care by determining the best route for your condition and work throughout your treatments to connect you with all appropriate knowledge, resources, and community services.
Our outpatient dialysis unit includes 5 stations with a TV set, free wifi, and warm blankets. In-patient dialysis is also offered by our Renal unit care team.

- End-stage renal disease

Comprehensive care clinic
We assist you in referrals and linkages to HIV services to enable the establishment of a harmonized, coordinated evidence-based informed system for HIV Testing Service points for the enrolment and care of patients within two weeks.
Steps involved are;
Step 1: Counselling and Testing
Pretest Counseling
Post-test Counseling
Step 2: Referral for HIV Care
Clients identified as HIV-positive may get a referral for certain services such as :
- Voluntary medical male circumcision.
- HIV prevention care and treatment services.
- Family planning and other reproductive health services.
- Nutritional assessment and support
- Social support services
- Other general medical services
Step 3: Follow-Up of Referred Clients
This process concludes with one of two outcomes: linked to care or not linked to care. The main objectives of the follow-up process include:
- The offering of additional psychological support depending on the outcomes of the HIV testing service.
- Supporting the client in initiating timely enrolment in care through facilitated linkage.
- Help the client identify his or her sexual partners and siblings getting tested.
Step 4: EnroLment in HIV Care
- Counseling the client on basic HIV information.
- Give the client a personal appointment card with an indicated HIV care number.
- Demographic data and physical location details.
- Obtain and confirm consent for a home visit by a community healthcare worker (and indicate it on the client file) as part of psychosocial assessment and preparation in readiness for ART initiation.
- Confirm the treatment supporter contact details and that the client understands the role of the treatment supporter (e.g., if the client does not come to care, the treatment supporter might be contacted).
- Once enrolled, the client’s enrolment number should be communicated to the referring facility or testing point to ensure accountability for all referrals made.
- HIV chronic-care client file(EMR)
Ultimately, all clients referred from the HTS point will be linked to and enrolled in HIV care and treatment services.
