DR. LESLIE RAMSAMMYMinister of Health
“If all renal failure patients in Guyana were to be treated with hemodialysis, the recurrent costs could reach 68% of the total Ministry of Health budget, a situation which would be unacceptable.”Minister of Health from Guyana

A FLYER LANDS IN QUEENS, NEW YORK CITY – DECEMBER 2007
• The story starts when Mr. George Subraj, a property developer, picks up a flyer soliciting funds for a young man dying of kidney failure in Guyana:
LEELKUMARIE Mangal, 41, is appealing to the business community and the general public to help her son get a kidney transplant in India and dialysis treatment here. She said her son, Munesh Mangal, 18, was diagnosed with “end stage renal failure” in August last year, after he became ill.
His mother, a vendor of green vegetables, said she is willing to donate her kidney.

ABOUT GUYANA• A Dutch colony in the 17th century, a
British possession by 1915, achieved independence in 1966.
• 80% is covered by rain forests. over 70% of the natural habitat remains pristine.
• Ranks poorly on basic health indicators. Life expectancy is 63.
• Water and sanitation sectors are poor service and quality.
• Food or waterborne, and water contact diseases degree of risk is high.
Guyana is slightly smaller than Idaho.

THE BURDEN OF CKD IN GUYANA
• Absence of national reporting systems.
• Rationing the available treatment capacity is politically challenging.– Competing healthcare concerns and a
limited national healthcare budget.
• Financial burden impacts entire families.– Unlike developed countries, the age of
presentation is mostly before age 40.– Late presentation is the norm.– Inadequate dialysis frequency to save
money.– Steroids and temporary catheters.
![Page 8: COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT OF KIDNEY FAILURE IN CARICOM: PUBLIC–PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070501/5681697b550346895de17d7d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ESTIMATED NEED FOR KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS IN GUYANA
• The population of Guyana is estimated to be approximately 1 million.
• It would, therefore it reasonable to assume that approximately 200 new patients per year.
![Page 9: COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT OF KIDNEY FAILURE IN CARICOM: PUBLIC–PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070501/5681697b550346895de17d7d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
COST
• $200-500 per dialysis session.
• Annual per capita income is $1,219. compared to the US $43,562.
• Renal Transplantation$ 150,000 in the US$ 60,000 in India

PREPARATIONS BEGIN FOR THE KIDNEY TRANSPLANT
• Educating the local physicians.
• Training the local nurses and OR staff.
• Dealing with the press.
• Dealing with the Minister of Health.

REPORT OF THE FIRST PERITONEAL DIALYSIS PROGRAM IN GUYANA, SOUTH AMERICA
• We placed 21 patients (15 [ESRD], 2 with acute kidney failure) on PD from July 2010 to present.
• Of the 17 patients, 4 patients received living kidney transplants.
• PD is a safe and cost effective option in Guyana and may be suitable for similar developing countries. In Guyana, PD was used as a bridge to a living kidney transplant.

PUBLIC HEALTH PROJECT
• A MINI-FRAMINGHAM TYPE longitudinal study in Guyana has been initiated to study the incidence and prevalence of diabetes, hypertension and CKD in Guyana.
• Information will be collected and analyzed on sanitation, social interaction, quality of life, employment and immigration patterns and substance abuse over many years.
• Will be helpful to policy makers.

PUBLIC HEALTH PROJECT
• 7 students and 2 teachers have been identified.
• They have been trained in basic sciences.
• They have learned the use of BP and glucometer and survey techniques.
• Work has started in 7 villages with 1000 adults.

STEPS TO REPLICATE THIS PROJECT
• Each country needs to identify a suitable hospital for dialysis & kidney transplantation.
• Identify lead physicians (Medical and Surgical).
• Site visit to country and hospital.– Our team starts clinics– Identify suitable patients
• Support from the Ministry of Health.– Point person for contact with US team
![Page 21: COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT OF KIDNEY FAILURE IN CARICOM: PUBLIC–PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070501/5681697b550346895de17d7d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
VARIOUS OPTIONS FOR CARICOM
• Short-term• Send their patients to BSH, Guyana.
• Long-term• Develop transplant program with our help.• Send physicians abroad for training.• Develop collaborations with academic centers.
