Kidney care beyond each session
Our programs address the cost of treatment, opportunities for earlier detection, the support patients need, and the skills of the professionals caring for them.
Program status as of .
Solar and grid feasibility study
At Trust Premium Hospital in Osu, Accra, we plan to evaluate a system that combines solar and grid electricity in an existing dialysis unit. The findings will help identify what other facilities would need to use the approach.
Solar panels are installed at Trust Premium Hospital in Osu, Accra. The foundation’s October update identified commissioning as the next step before data collection.
- Assess the cost of electricity used to deliver dialysis
- Track power-related treatment interruptions
- Evaluate patient costs after subsidies
How partners can help. Support the evaluation, contribute technical expertise, or help develop the patient subsidy approach.

Community screening and referrals
Together with Akomapa Health, we help people identify health concerns earlier and find appropriate care. Outreach includes screening, health education, referrals, support with National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) registration, and follow-up.
- Screening and health education
- Referrals and insurance registration support
- Follow-up care
How partners can help. Support screening, insurance registration assistance, referral coordination, or follow-up.
Mental health in dialysis care
Living with kidney disease and receiving dialysis can take an emotional toll. We are preparing a program that pairs patient education and screening with nurse training and referrals for further assessment or support.
- Mental health screening in dialysis care
- Training for nurses to recognize distress
- Referrals for further assessment and support
How partners can help. Help design the program, train nurses, or establish referral pathways with mental health professionals.
Training for kidney care
We are developing learning opportunities for nurses and health professional students. Training will connect clinical practice with patient communication, affordability, community referral, and mental health support. We will share participation and supervision details as the program develops.
- Patient communication and affordability
- Community referrals and follow-up
- Mental health support in kidney care
How partners can help. Collaborate on curriculum, mentorship, supervised learning, or program delivery.
Future concepts
These proposals depend on feasibility, funding, clinical requirements, and what we learn from our initial work.
A solar-powered center
A dedicated facility could bring dialysis, patient support, and professional training together under one roof.
Mobile dialysis
A proposed solar-supported service for people who live far from care. It would require assessment of clinical safety, water treatment, power reliability, staffing, and operating feasibility.
NephroHaven Plus
A proposed consulting and management service for private facilities interested in solar integration, workforce development, patient support, and dialysis operations.
Help develop the next stage of our work
We welcome partners who can support evaluation, community care, program development, and training.
