Dialysis Tairāwhiti

With the high incidence of diabetes on the East Coast the Dialysis Unit at Gisborne Hospital has experienced a marked increase in the number of people requiring dialysis and this is expected to keep increasing in the future.

There are many causes of kidney disease, high blood pressure and diabetes being the most common. Uncontrolled diabetes negatively affects quality of life and can be fatal.

With the increase of diabetes on the East Coast, kidney disease and dialysis treatment are on in the rise. The harsh reality is most patients will be on dialysis for the rest of their lives.

The Dialysis Tairāwhiti Endowment Fund will help with the future care of dialysis patients in Tairāwhiti-Gisborne, making treatment as enjoyable as possible.
