FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, August 7 (FENA) – Eleven new dialysis machines were installed at the Clinic for Hemodialysis of the Clinical Center University of Sarajevo, at the end of July.  
 
The Clinic purchased eight machines, six of them are set up at Koševo and two at the Dialysis Center in Ilidža. The main activity of the Hemodialysis Clinic is treatment of patients at the final stage of chronic kidney disease.
The new equipment significantly facilitated the work of the medical staff at the Clinic and increased patient satisfaction, according to Amela Bećiragić, Head of the Clinic.

She also added that the use of these machines improves the quality of life, extends life expectancy, as well as reduces the cost of treating complications in hemodialysis patients, which leads to disability prevention and reduction of mortality.

There are no patients on the waiting list for health services in the field of diagnostics at the Clinic for Hemodialysis.

The increase in the number of organ donors in the last 15 years is only 2 percent a year, while the number of patients on waiting lists is increasing by about 15 to 20 percent a year.

She stressed that more than 50,000 people are currently on waiting lists in Europe, 30 percent of whom will receive a transplant and 35 percent will die while waiting for a transplantation.

“Unfortunately, the BiH citizens are still not sufficiently aware of the importance of organ donation after brain death. There is a lot of investment in campaigns around the world about the importance of organ donation and animation of citizens, whereas this is not the case in BiH,” Bećiragić explained.
