Libya Faces Kidney Crisis
The kidney patient situation in Libya is experiencing a significant deterioration due to pressures on the healthcare sector and poor management. There are over 18,000 patients suffering from various kidney conditions, including 7,100 undergoing dialysis and 2,200 who have received kidney transplants. Additionally, 9,000 patients regularly visit kidney centers and face health issues that threaten their lives. The sector suffers from a shortage of medications, weak infrastructure, a lack of medical and specialized staff, and the absence of early detection centers for kidney diseases—all of which are compounded by political division and administrative corruption. Experts have called for a restructuring of the kidney care system, providing financial and moral support to the centers, and improving transplant and dialysis services. They also emphasize the urgent need to regulate medication supplies, increase the number of centers to meet demand, and temporarily halt kidney transplants due to medication and service shortages. The crisis requires immediate efforts from relevant authorities to save patients’ lives and enhance the quality of healthcare services provided to them.
