Haiti - Health : Towards better access to kidney transplant 07/01/2018 09:03:59 Dr. Jeudy who, on November 30, 2009 who performed the first kidney transplant in Haiti, reveals that 8 kidney transplants have been performed in Haiti since 2009. Calculated based on the money spent on dialysis for a year, Dr. Jeudy estimates that a kidney transplant can cost up to $ 35,000, which is a lot of money for most Haitians with kidney failure. However, he points out "The transplant ensures a survival of 98% of the graft after one year and 92% after five years and 98% of recipients of a transplant return to work in comparison to 30% for a patient on dialysis." In addition, Dr Jeudy announced that a draft law on renal transplantation in Haiti is being prepared and will be sent shortly to the Government and that several kidney transplant centers will be put in place soon in the country. .
