We have an outpatient hemodialysis unit (Hemodialysis Annex II) with 31 top-of-the-line
hemodialysis machines. It is open Mondays to Saturdays from 4 AM to 11 PM offering 4 sessions daily. A fellow-in-training
regularly make rounds on the dialysis patients and highly qualified renal nurses carry out the dialysis orders.
A separate hemodialysis unit is available at the Main Building for patients who are admitted in the ward, ICU, or in the Emergency Room.
Patients who need immediate dialysis are given priority over the patients who just need regular dialysis during their admission.

OUTPATIENT CLINICS
Aside from the private clinics of our consultant staff, we conduct regular clinics in General Nephrology
and Kidney Transplantation for our service patients from Mondays to Fridays, 1 to 5 PM. Nephrology fellows-in-training
man these clinics under the supervision of the consultant staff.
In 2006, we established the Chronic Kidney Disease Education and Counselling Program (CKD Clinic). Newly-diagnosed CKD patients,
(whether on renal replacement therapy already or not) are referred to this clinic for counselling and education regarding all aspects
of their illness (diagnosis, treatment, diet, laboratories, medicines, financial costs, family support, government support, etc.).
Specific modules are offered and patients are evaluated objectively to ensure their comprehension. The clinic is located at the 2nd
floor, Annex II building and is manned by our trained paramedical staff under the close supervision of our consultant staff. It is open
Mondays to Fridays from 10 AM to 6 PM.
