Holiday dialysis

Being a dialysis patient needn’t mean you miss out on a holiday abroad or a relaxing break closer to home. In fact, experts say getting away could be just the tonic for patients feeling “like slaves” to their dialysis machines.

But how do you go about planning and booking holiday so it doesn’t turn into a holiday from hell?

Haemodialysis patients can choose from a wide range of destinations at home and abroad that cater for their sessions three times a week. From the Spanish Costas to the Caribbean and Disney, there is a location available to suit every taste and budget.

Group dialysis sessions are also increasingly popular for the over-50s who would rather have company as first time dialysis holidaymakers. Obsessive sports fans also needn’t worry about missing out on big events.

To find out more log on to Global Dialysis – an international website for dialysis patients - they reported a huge surge in demand for dialysis units in South Africa during the recent World Cup.
