The island’s first dedicated dialysis centre, which is funded by Destiny Special Sustainability Zone (SSZ) Project Developer – Olivier Janssens and his team, will house five state-of-the-art dialysis stations, accommodating up to 20 patients, upon completion.

 

 

 

 

The project costs US $1.3 million, which covers the construction of the facility, equipment, staffing and full operational costs for the first two years.

 

 

Four specialist healthcare professionals, comprising of three nurses from the Philippines trained in haemodialysis and a biomedical technician, are already on Nevis.
