About The Project<\/h5><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]Global Dialysis Initiative (GDI) is a program initiated by the Iya Foundation as a platform to assist in need dialysis clinics and kidney failure patients in developing countries.<\/p>\n

Programs include: Education and Awareness and Vascular Access Surgery.
\nGDI improves access to dialysis treatment which results in an improved quality of care for dialysis patients in underserved communities around the world while also focusing on early-detection testing through education and awareness.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

The Vascular Surgery Program<\/h5><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]February 10, 2016 \u2013 The Iya Foundation held a press conference and check giving ceremony at the Buea Regional Hemodialysis Clinic where a total of almost 5million francs cfa ($8200) was donated through The Iya Foundation Global Dialysis Initiative \u2013 Vascular Surgery Program. Ten Kidney Failure patients will benefit from this grant, which will allow them to get the very vital Vascular Surgery for their much needed dialysis therapies. As part of this grant, these patients will also be able to get the mandatory Epo supplement that goes with treatment. Thanks to the partnership of OGCEYOD Cameroon under Mr. Elvis Wepngong, Ms. Trypheana Ndifor, coordinator of the project, and the full support of the Clinic, Regional Health Delegate Dr. Mbome, Dr. T, and the president of the Association of Dialysis patients in Buea, Mr. Tambe George. Special thanks to all who showed up, especially the patient\u2019s, the dialysis clinic staff, and the media houses who will help echo this desperate need in our communities and society as a whole.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]
Report of the Fistula Surgery Campaign<\/h5><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]The Buea Regional Hemodialsis center was inaugurated on September 2011 and\u00a0since then has carried out about 20,000 dialysis sessions. Serving a population of\u00a0mostly indigenous Cameroonians, difficulties of delayed, interrupted and inconsistent dialysis care is commonplace. The burden of financial setbacks stands at\u00a0the forefront of limitations faced by dialysis patients, their caretakers and caregivers. The cost of vascular access for hemodialysis is non-negligible especially in our\u00a0resource poor setting. As such, costs associated with catheter placement whether\u00a0temporal or permanent and especially arteriovenous fistula placement is a major\u00a0challenge to most patients. Nonetheless, the quality of the vascular access is a key\u00a0factor to an improved outcome and quality of life for patients on chronic\u00a0hemodialysis. The sponsorship by The IYA FOUNDATION to perform fistula surgery for ten\u00a0patients from the Buea Regional Hemodiaysis Center was received with great joy by\u00a0both patients and caregivers, who can look forward to better days for their patients.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]
