Doobay Renal Center offers 150 dialysis sessions per month
The Doobay Renal Centre, which is located at Annandale, East Coast Demerara, continues to give quality service to dialysis patients, according to its owner Mr. Vic Oudit. Oudit told Kaieteur News that the center currently does about 140 to 150 sessions monthly.
He explained that they don’t count the patients since one person depending on his condition, might need more than one session. Kaieteur News was told that everything at the center is done by staff members who are trained in the various fields.
“Quality service is something we continue pushing for….We try our best to give our patients this,” Oudit told Kaieteur News.
Oudit added that the centre has partnered with the Ministry of Health and the Humber University in Canada. He said that in terms of finances the centre has managed to keep its head above water. The managers continue to do their fundraising activities which help the centre.

Currently the center charges $15,000 per session. Oudit told Kaieteur News that he’s committed to see the centre develop more.
The centre which was opened last year aims to bring the dialysis treatment at a cost which most Guyanese could afford. One of the partners, Dr Surendra Persaud, who is a registered surgeon, had said that he was extremely pleased that this dream is finally becoming a reality.
He said that the centre is a registered ‘not for profit’ body which is working in collaboration with the Government of Guyana, the Ministry of Health and with major support from Canada-based Guyanese.
Dr Persaud said that with the help of Dr. Mahendra Doobay, who has worked with the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation and who is a Cardiovascular Surgeon in Canada, they all sought to realize the dream.
He said that Dr Doobay has worked assiduously with Vic Oditt to make it a reality. Help was given by two Canada-based universities, and from Canada-based Guyanese. Kaieteur News was told that almost everything at the centre has been donated. The Doobay centre only takes care of the chronic patients.
Also at the center is an on-call physician from the Georgetown Public Hospital.
