To provide care for the highest quality and face the sustained increase in patients with chronic renal failure, the Social Security Fund (CSS) has so far installed, more than 200 hemodialysis machines with cutting -edge technology in different rooms from country.
The new machines have, among other things, with an advanced alarm and monitoring system, which optimizes the time and quality of treatments. In addition, poltrons are designed to provide greater comfort to patients during dialysis.
Additionally, these equipment have a built -in battery to ensure that the treatment is not suspended, in case a failure in the electrical system is registered.
The general director of the CSS, Dino Mon Vásquez, indicated that the process of changing all hemodialysis machines nationwide, which began three months ago, already enters its final phase.
“We will be opening in Susana Jones, very soon, San Cristóbal, Nelson Collado, in Chitré, and there we will go to Bocas del Toro, Penonomé and the complex, which are important rooms that we must have enabled to start the construction of the Four new rooms that we have planned for this year, ”he said.
The director continued today with the close monitoring of the replacement process of 600 hemodialysis machines nationwide, for which he moved to the Metro 1 room, in San Miguelito, where 30 of these equipment and poltrons were installed.
“I am very concerned about the growth of this type of treatments, due to kidney disease. We have to insist on prevention and detect in time the creatinine levels of patients to be able to offer more and better treatments in time, ”added Mon Vásquez.
“Although we build four new rooms, it seems that growth will beat us. We must make great efforts in peritoneal dialysis, because coming three times a week at these rooms, it is not quality of life for people, ”he said.
For his part, Francisco Vargas, national hemodialysis coordinator, explained that new machines have advanced alarm and monitoring systems to optimize the time and quality of treatments.
“In addition, poltrons are designed to provide greater comfort to patients during dialysis.”
