The dialysis unit at the country’s biggest referral health centre, University Teaching Hospital (UTH) has been down for days, leaving patients who need it stranded.
According to a local radio station, the problem is being attributed to the lack of water to run the machines at the hospital.
Meanwhile, UTH Director of Clinical Care and Diagnostic Services, Dr Alex Makupe confirmed the unfortunate development to the station, adding that management at the hospital is working to rectify the situation.
He attributed the water problem to a burst underground pipe at the hospital, saying corrective measures are being sought.
Dialysis is a clinical procedure of removing excess waste and fluids from the blood when the kidneys stop working well.
During this procedure, blood is diverted to the machine, where it is purified.
