March is National Kidney Month and the management and staff of Health Solutions Inc. (HSI), the only dialysis service provider in St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG), will be in the community to increase public awareness and education about kidney health and kidney disease.
HSI Managing Director, Pauline Garabedian-DeFreitas stated that “the two main causes of chronic kidney disease are diabetes and high blood pressure, which are responsible for up to two-thirds of kidney disease and/or kidney failure cases. If persons in SVG know anyone who suffers from diabetes and/or hypertension please advise them to have their kidneys checked.”
