Kinshasa, DRC — Chad’s President, Marshal Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno, recently toured the Centre hospitalier universitaire (CHU) de la Référence nationale’s nephrology and hemodialysis facilities, marking a significant milestone in the nation’s healthcare infrastructure.
The visit occurred following the unveiling of a new, ultra — modern dialysis center on April 10, 2026, a project supported by the State of Qatar.
The new center, equipped with cutting — edge water treatment systems, aims to elevate the standard of care for kidney disease patients. This development is a crucial step for Chad’s healthcare system, which has historically struggled to provide adequate medical services for chronic kidney disease patients. President Déby Itno’s engagement with the facility underscores his commitment to enhancing healthcare services in Chad.
This tour is part of a series of surprise inspections by the President, which are intended to assess the real conditions of patient care and ensure transparency.
The Director General Adjunct of CHU — R, Mahamat Hissein Ali, highlighted the center as a direct response to the silent suffering of kidney disease patients.
The center is expected to provide much — needed care to hundreds of patients who previously faced significant difficulties accessing dialysis services.
The visit to the CHU de la Référence nationale is a testament to the government’s efforts to improve healthcare infrastructure and services in Chad. It also emphasizes the importance of addressing the challenges faced by patients with chronic kidney disease and other serious health conditions.
As Chad’s administration continues, the focus on healthcare will be crucial for improving the quality of life for its citizens. President Déby Itno’s visit to the dialysis center is a clear signal that the government is serious about healthcare and committed to making improvements.
The next steps will involve monitoring the center’s effectiveness and ensuring it meets the needs of patients, while maintaining transparency and accountability in the healthcare sector.
