4th and 5th AV Fistula Care Workshops – Dehradun Outreach

📍 Max Hospital and Synergy Hospital
 📅 August 11, 2024

The energy in Dehradun was palpable as we conducted an impactful session, reaching over 100 patients and dozens of dialysis staff.

Morning Session: Max Hospital (Patients)

  • Patients were introduced to the Kidney Warrior Tool Kit simple yet comprehensive set including a stethoscope, renal diet chart, exercise guide, and care instructions.

  • Himanshu Verma explained how a stethoscope can be used at home to monitor access sounds.

  • Trisha (PhD- Renal Nutrition) gave dietary guidance tailored for CKD patients.

  • Manish (Physiotherapist) shared easy-to-do exercises to improve circulation around the fistula.

Evening Session: Synergy Hospital (Technicians)

  • This session focused on hands-on training with real-time feedback.
  • Technicians learned access types, correct puncture techniques, and how to guide patients through self-checks during dialysis.

What made this day special was the sense of shared purpose among everyone involved.

Our AV Fistula Care Workshop is about more than survival—it’s about living well. We teach the importance of exercise, diet, and self-care for AV fistulas, so you can stay healthy and positive. Plus, you’ll connect with others who truly understand and support your journey.
