Project Overview

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a growing health crisis in Bangladesh, where many patients depend on regular dialysis to survive. However, the high cost of treatment makes it nearly impossible for low-income individuals to continue life-saving care.

The Peace Foundation Dialysis Support Project aims to establish a dedicated haemodialysis unit at a partner facility to provide free, continuous treatment for vulnerable patients who cannot afford dialysis.

Why This Project Matters

• Dialysis is essential for survival in advanced kidney disease

• A single session can cost BDT 2,000–4,000 in private facilities

• Many patients are forced to stop treatment due to financial hardship

• Limited capacity in public hospitals leaves many untreated

This project addresses a critical healthcare gap by expanding access to life-saving dialysis services.

Project Location & Partnership

• Location: Keraniganj, Dhaka

• Partner Facility: Doctors Trust Kidney Dialysis & Transplant Center

• Funding Partner: NAHAR (North American Humanitarian Aid and Relief, USA)

The partner facility will provide infrastructure, medical staff, and operational support, ensuring efficient and sustainable service delivery.

Project Objectives

• Install one fully functional haemodialysis machine

• Expand free dialysis capacity for underserved patients

• Provide 50+ dialysis sessions per month

• Serve at least 6 patients daily across two shifts
• Ensure transparent implementation and reporting

Target Beneficiaries

This project focuses on patients who are most in need:

• Low-income individuals and day-labourers

• Elderly patients without financial support

• Women and female-headed households

• Patients at risk of stopping treatment due to cost

All beneficiaries will be selected through verified medical and socioeconomic assessment.

Service Model

• Two operational shifts daily (morning & afternoon)

• 6 patients served per day

• 50+ dialysis sessions per month
• 100% free treatment for selected patients

Implementation Plan

Phase 1: Setup
