Renal & Dialysis Care
Haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis solutions for Africa's growing renal disease burden.
Chronic kidney disease is Africa's most undertreated non-communicable condition.
An estimated 1 in 10 adults worldwide has chronic kidney disease — yet fewer than 5% of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in sub-Saharan Africa receive any dialysis treatment. The gap is driven not by lack of demand but by lack of infrastructure: functional dialysis machines, reliable RO water systems, consistent consumable supply and trained technicians. Jos•Hansen addresses each component of that gap end to end.
Haemodialysis infrastructure — from water to machine to circuit.
A functional dialysis unit requires three integrated systems: ultrapure RO water (12–15 litres per session per patient), a reliable HD machine with volumetric ultrafiltration control, and a complete consumable circuit — dialyser, bloodlines, AV fistula needles and bicarbonate concentrate. Jos•Hansen supplies and commissions each component to ISO 13485 medical device standards, with installation qualification and staff training included.
RO Water Treatment
12–15 litres of ultrapure water per session — reverse osmosis removes bacteria, endotoxins and chemical contaminants to AAMI/ISO 23500 standard.
Haemodialysis Machine
Volumetric ultrafiltration control, online haemodiafiltration capability, and automated self-disinfection — minimising manual intervention per session.
Consumable Circuit
High-flux dialyser, bloodlines, AV fistula needles and bicarbonate concentrate — sourced through Jos•Hansen's Baihe Medical supply chain.
Peritoneal dialysis: clinical-grade treatment beyond the hospital.
Automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) and continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD) offer ESRD patients treatment without hospital attendance — reducing the infrastructure burden while delivering equivalent clinical outcomes for selected patients. Jos•Hansen supplies APD cyclers, PD catheters and all CAPD consumables, with clinical training for nephrology teams and patient education programmes.

Dialysis consumable supply — managed and uninterrupted.
Dialysis cannot pause for a stock-out. Jos•Hansen manages the importation, customs clearance and distribution of Baihe Medical dialysis consumables — high-flux and low-flux dialysers, blood tubing sets, AV fistula needles, bicarbonate cartridges and dialysate concentrate — with in-country buffer stock and rapid replenishment to prevent treatment interruptions.
Dialysers clearing middle molecules — superior outcomes vs low-flux for most ESRD patients (HEMO Study, NEJM 2002)
13485 certified consumables through Baihe Medical — meeting EU medical device directive requirements
Buffer stock held in East Africa — eliminating 6–8 week customs clearance delays for critical consumables
One partner for the complete dialysis unit.
A dialysis unit fails when any single component is unavailable — water, machine, or consumables. Jos•Hansen supplies and supports all three under one contract.
Complete unit design and commissioning
We design and commission entire dialysis units: RO water system, HD machine installation, plumbing, electrical, consumable storage and staff training — from greenfield to first patient treatment.
Baihe Medical consumable supply chain
We manage the importation and distribution of Baihe Medical dialysis consumables — high-flux dialysers, bloodlines, AV fistula needles and bicarbonate cartridges — with in-country buffer stock preventing treatment-threatening stock-outs.
Dialysis technician training
Biomedical technicians and nursing staff receive hands-on training in HD machine operation, alarm management, reprocessing protocols and RO system maintenance — building durable local capacity.
Regulatory and import compliance
Dialysis machines and consumables are regulated medical devices. Jos•Hansen manages all import documentation, KEBS and Pharmacy and Poisons Board clearances, and maintains full compliance records per device.
The numbers that define dialysis care.
Dialysis is a precision therapy. These are the clinical and operational benchmarks that govern a functioning renal care programme.
Dialysis coverage rate in sub-Saharan Africa — the treatment gap this portfolio directly addresses
Standard haemodialysis sessions per ESRD patient — requiring uninterrupted machine and consumable availability
Minimum session adequacy target per KDIGO 2012 guideline — achievable with high-flux dialysers at 4hr sessions
Ultrapure water consumed per haemodialysis session — making RO system quality the foundation of patient safety
Everything a dialysis unit needs.
From haemodialysis machines and RO water treatment to peritoneal dialysis cyclers and complete consumable supply — Jos•Hansen designs, commissions and supports full dialysis units for hospitals across East and Southern Africa.
Global manufacturers. African execution.
