The General Hospital of Acute Carlos G. Durand ended the relocation and integral improvement of its dialysis service, which will now work on the first floor. This work, which implied the transfer from the eighth floor of the Roman pavilion, was designed to optimize the accessibility of both outpatients and hospitalized persons who require replacement renal treatment.
The new installation is organized in three large areas: attention, support and personnel. In the area of care, a modern hemodialysis room equipped with 12 positions and an additional position for patients who require isolation, along with two offices and two peritoneal dialysis training rooms, three general offices, a nursing station and a recovery room and a recovery room, stands out.
This improvement will allow approximately 70 hemodialysis patients per month. In addition, the increase in offices and training rooms favors the expansion of peritoneal dialysis, an area in which the hospital currently accompanies 60 patients on a regular basis, consolidating itself as one of the public centers with the greatest volume in this treatment modality. This growth reinforces the ability to provide comprehensive care to people who need hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, guaranteeing greater accessibility, monitoring and quality in care.
The support area has key spaces such as the water treatment room, differentiated deposits for hospital inputs and waste, filter washing room, urine sediment area, cleaning office and waiting room with accessible toilets.
For its part, the personnel area includes headquarters, dormitories of guard, being a doctor and nursing, and toilets for the work team.
With this renewal, the Durand hospital reinforces its commitment to improve the response capacity and service quality for people who require chronic renal treatments, consolidating as a reference center in nephrology within the public health system.
