The Nephrology Dialysis team: caregivers dedicated to the well-being of their young patients undergoing dialysis
On the occasion of World Kidney Day on March 14, 2024, discover the "Quality Time" toolkit from the Nephrology Dialysis service at the Children's Hospital (Huderf)
The challenges faced by children undergoing dialysis are immense. Every year, a child undergoes an average of 150 dialysis sessions, an ordeal that can last up to 4 hours each time. The hope for a better future for these children often lies in the possibility of a kidney transplant, underscoring the crucial importance of awareness and action in this field.
Thanks to the support of the Ademar association and the tireless commitment of the medical staff at the Children's Hospital, significant progress is made every day in caring for children with renal insufficiency. From improving the quality of treatments to promoting organ donation, and providing psycho-social support to patients and their families, each initiative contributes to offering a brighter future for these young patients.
Another notable initiative is the "Quality Time" toolkit developed by the Nephrology Dialysis service. This comprehensive resource offers a range of supports and resources to accompany children and their families throughout their care journey. From managing pain to improving quality of life, this toolkit embodies the ongoing commitment of the medical team to the overall well-being of its patients.
