ABU DHABI // A new paediatric dialysis unit has been opened by Seha, the Abu Dhabi Health Services Company, at Sheikh Khalifa Medical City in the capital.

Dr Zubaida Al Ismaili, deputy chief executive at Seha Dialysis Services, said the new paediatric dialysis unit comprised nine dialysis stations with a capacity of 27 patients a day. The unit provides four dialysis sessions a week for each child, with each session lasting about four hours.

Similar units have been planned for the Mafraq Dialysis Centre in Abu Dhabi and Tawam Hospital in Al Ain, and would bring the total capacity of the three centres to 204 dialysis units.
