Long-term dialysis carries costs beyond treatment itself, and support is often available if you ask for it.
What to know
- Home dialysis removes most transport costs, which is a significant saving in itself.
- Charitable and community funds in the UAE assist patients facing treatment costs.
- Employers are often willing to accommodate schedules once the situation is explained clearly.
- Ask your care coordinator early — support is far easier to arrange before arrears build up.
Talk to your care team
