Dialysis Technicians' Academy
Technicians are the pillars of the entire Hemodialysis(HD) program. With 30% growth of HD in India, there is a huge unmet need for qualified / trained/ experienced dialysis technicians who are not available as of now. In addition, refresher courses are required for the available technicians to remain updated so as to provide excellence in dialysis care.
MKF has devised the following ways of upskilling the technicians
a. Teaching through Whatsapp Group
b. Regular zoom meetings
c. Teaching modules prepared by eminent nephrologists of the country
d. Physical conferences for HD technicians
e. A certificate course for dialysis technologist is being planned
The entire series of training videos are being prepared and will be available on the MKF Youtube channel.
