Haemodialysis does some of the work your kidneys can no longer do — filtering waste and excess fluid from your blood. During a session you’re settled into a chair and connected to the dialysis machine through your vascular access, with the team monitoring you closely throughout. Sessions are scheduled regularly, and your dialysis team will talk you through exactly what to expect for your own treatment.
We have units in White River and Barberton (Mpumalanga), Welkom (Free State), and Fourways (Gauteng). Each unit’s page has the full address, contact numbers, and opening hours.
Most of our units are open Monday to Saturday for two shifts each day, and some are also open on a Sunday. Shift times change through the year, so it’s best to call the unit to confirm the current shifts and times.
Most patients come to us through a referral from their doctor or nephrologist. If you’d like to begin treatment with us, call your nearest unit and the team will guide you through what’s needed.

Your dialysis team will give you clear guidance before your first session. It helps to bring your ID, medical aid details, referral information, and a list of your current medications, and to wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your arm or PC. Your team will explain anything specific to your treatment.
