What a dialysis unit is

Haemodialysis filters the blood when the kidneys can no longer do it. A dialysis unit is a room with dialysis machines, water treatment and specialist nursing staff, where each patient occupies a chair for several hours per session, usually three times a week. Because of that frequency, the distance between the unit and the patient's home stops being a logistical detail and becomes part of the treatment: it amounts to hundreds of journeys a year.

What to ask when choosing a unit

Ask about the shifts available — a unit at capacity will only offer overnight slots — about who places and follows up the vascular access, about what happens if the patient needs to be admitted during treatment, and whether the unit sits inside a hospital or operates independently. If a public institution or an insurer covers the treatment, confirm in advance what is included: the sessions, the disposable materials and the medication are often billed separately.

Frequently asked questions

How many facilities with dialysis are there in Chihuahua?

6 facilities in Chihuahua report dialysis in the Ministry of Health's resource inventory. The list on this page shows each one with its address and, where we have it, a phone number. The inventory covers establishments that report to it, so a private clinic that does not report will not appear.

Which of them can admit a patient?

4 of the 6 report inpatient beds, 606 between them; each card shows its own count. A facility with no bed count reported either does not admit patients or did not report the figure — worth confirming by phone before you travel.

What else do these facilities offer?

Besides dialysis, the most common units among them are a clinical laboratory (6), an operating theatre (5), inpatient beds (4). That matters when a case needs more than one department in the same building — being moved between hospitals costs time.

Is this list a quality ranking?

No. The order reflects how much verified information we hold about each facility — capacity, services, specialties and listed doctors — not the quality of care. Private establishments do not report to the capacity inventory, so their entries look sparser here than their size would suggest.
