Rapidly evolving medical technologies and emerging trends are giving new hope to patients suffering from kidney diseases. Speaking at a workshop on Peritoneal Dialysis on Friday, Principal Ameer-ud-Din Medical College Prof Farooq Afzal stated that young doctors can significantly enhance patient care and serve humanity more effectively by adopting emerging technologies. On this occasion, an important Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between Byonyks and KBB companies to promote collaboration in advanced dialysis machines and innovative techniques, aiming to modernise renal care services. Prof Farooq Afzal stated that revolutionary measures are being taken to ensure the provision of quality healthcare services at people’s doorsteps. He added that in line with the Government of Punjab’s vision, state-of-the-art medical facilities are being ensured at LGH. Prof Abad-ur-Rehman highlighted that conventional dialysis is often exhausting and complicated for patients. However, modern peritoneal dialysis technology has made the procedure safer, simpler and more accessible, enabling patients to benefit from international standards of treatment. At the workshop, experts provided hands-on training to participants on the latest techniques of peritoneal dialysis, a procedure performed through the abdominal cavity instead of conventional blood-based dialysis. They emphasised that this initiative marks a significant step forward in medical education and will play a pivotal role in improving patients’ quality of life.
