Meet Doris Baird
Doris Baird was a woman of quiet strength, deep compassion, and unwavering service. She believed that care should never be conditional and that dignity must always come first, especially in moments of vulnerability.
A Clinic Built for the Community
The Doris Baird Memorial Dialysis Clinic was established to address one of Ghana’s most urgent healthcare gaps: dependable access to renal care within a broader medical context. Kidney disease continues to rise nationwide, while many patients face long travel distances, inconsistent treatment, and preventable complications due to limited local services.
The clinic is intended to serve individuals across the community who require renal care as well as related medical services that support patient stability, monitoring, and continuity of care, regardless of background or circumstance. Its mission is grounded in dignity, clinical quality, and access to essential healthcare services.
By expanding local access to dialysis and supporting medical services, the clinic is designed to reduce disruption for patients and families, strengthen care coordination, and improve community-level health outcomes.
The Crisis We are Addressing
Inconsistent access to renal care leads to preventable complications and life-threatening outcomes.
Overcrowded Facilities
01
Treatment centres are stretched beyond capacity, forcing patients to wait days or weeks for dialysis appointments.
Financial Burden
02
The high cost of repeated treatment places severe strain on families, often pushing them into long-term financial hardship.
Long Travel
03
Many patients travel hours to reach care, losing income, time, and physical energy they cannot afford to spare.
Interrupted Care
04
Inconsistent treatment leads to preventable complications and life-threatening outcomes.
Partners
The Doris Baird Memorial Dialysis Clinic acknowledges the partners whose expertise, resources, and support are helping bring essential dialysis and medical care to patients in Ghana.
Why This Matters
3x per week
The treatment frequency required for most dialysis patients.
Dialysis is not optional. It is not a convenience. It is a life-sustaining treatment required multiple times per week, every single week, for years.
Without it, patients face rapid deterioration, organ failure, and death. A dependable clinic in Tema reduces suffering, improves health outcomes, and provides families with the care they can count on—when they need it most.
This is about giving people their lives back.
