Bridge of Life

Kidney disease prevention and treatment - the dialysis capacity program provides life-saving treatment to people with end-stage renal disease who have few, if any, options available to them by establishing new or expanding existing dialysis clinics in underserved parts of the world. In-country partners are provided with equipment, procedural training, water systems management, and complete dialysis education to ensure kidney care clinics remain sustainable long after the medical mission has been completed. Bol's chronic disease prevention program works to prevent and control kidney disease and its root causes through screening and health education.

Chronic disease prevention program - the focus of this program is the prevention of chronic kidney disease (ckd), a silent epidemic that often has no symptoms. The ckd screening program is unique in that it provides real-time, lab-quality results within minutes and identifies individuals who have signs of kidney impairment. Along with reviewing their personal screening results on site, participants are given a personal education session, receive additional education materials about ckd and prevention tools, and are encouraged to seek medical follow-up as appropriate.
