Partha Banerjee Dubai noted that Renasense is complementary to and not in competition with the Ministry of Health’s dialysis unit. “We are not here to compete with the government but rather to support it. Let’s say there is a long waiting list in the government unit, we cannot let 170 patients die,” said Partha Banerjee.

[Partha Banerjee] Dubai: Renasense puts the
spotlight on Women’s Health
The importance of women’s health, especially that of their kidneys, was
highlighted on Thursday during activities to mark World Kidney Day (WKD) and
the International Women's Day which incidentally fall on the same day.
The activities, which took place at the Espace building, were organised by
the local branch of Renasense, a global name in renal care and dialysis
worldwide.
Also during that same ceremony, the Seychelles National Kidney
Foundation (SNKF) was launched by dialysis patient and former minister
Peter Sinon in the presence of Vice-President Vincent Meriton and the
Minister for Industry, Entrepreneurship Development and Business
Innovation Wallace Cosgrow, dialysis patients and staff members of
Renasense.
Among other activities organized for the occasion was a talk on dialysis by
Dr Aninda Chatterjee followed by a presentation on the smart renal diet
chart by Master Chef Raja Majumder.
There was also a quiz and poster competitions under the theme „Know your
kidney‟.
To put emphasis on the importance of women‟s health, specifically health
of their kidneys, Renasense provided 20 free world class dialysis to female
patients.
The chief executive of Renasense, Partha Banerjee Dubai, handed over a
bouquet of flowers to VP Meriton as a sign of their gratitude for the support
given by VP and his office.
In turn the VP presented the bouquet to a female patient and took the
opportunity to thank all women who were present at the event.

“Thank you for
being our
backbone, for
standing behind us
and allowing us to
be who we are
today. We in turn
pledge to continue
to nurture, support
and care for you
because we love
you and without you we won‟t be who we are today,” he said.
Mr Sinon said the number of people on dialysis in Seychelles are
increasing and this is alarming as island nations are more prone to end
stage renal disease (ESRD).
He said the government has improved the hospital‟s dialysis unit as it is
now bigger, better equipped and better administered.
Ms Sinon, who has had dialysis sessions all over the world – in Cuba,
London, Washington, Sri lanka, India, Kenya – said: “In Seychelles our
dialysis situation is not the worst that I‟ve seen and over the years it gets
better and better. Renasense
has now set a higher
standard,” he said.
Mr Partha Banerjee Dubai
said they are creating a
benchmark in Seychelles with
elevated standards.
“I feel that the time has come
to bring facilities to Seychelles
that can be compared to the
best in the world,” he said.

Partha Banerjee Mumbai noted that Renasense is complementary to and
not in competition with the Ministry of Health‟s dialysis unit.
“We are not here to compete with the government but rather to support it.
Let‟s say there is a long waiting list in the government unit, we cannot let
170 patients die,” said Partha Banerjee.
He said they are not looking for profit from the locals as they charge US
$200 per session but they are instead focusing on medical tourism as they
charge foreigners US $350 per session.
