Visitors — Holiday & Vacation Dialysis
Can I receive dialysis in Barbados while on holiday or vacation?
Yes. Sils Dialysis welcomes non-resident and visiting dialysis patients from around the world at our clinics in Barbados. Whether you are travelling from the US, Canada, the UK, Europe or elsewhere in the Caribbean, you can continue your regular haemodialysis treatment while enjoying your Barbados vacation. Please contact us at info@silsdialysis.com to arrange your sessions in advance.
How far in advance do I need to book holiday dialysis in Barbados?
We recommend booking at least four weeks in advance to ensure session availability — one of the shortest lead times for vacation dialysis in the Caribbean, where many centres require six to eight weeks’ notice.
What clinical information do I need to provide?
Very little — we make it easy. Simply connect your home nephrologist or dialysis clinic with Sils Dialysis and we will coordinate directly with them to receive your current dialysis prescription and any other details we need. Your home clinic is kept fully informed throughout, so your care continues seamlessly before, during and after your stay in Barbados.
What type of dialysis does Sils offer for visiting patients?
We offer in-centre hemodialysis (haemodialysis) for visiting and transient patients. If you are on peritoneal dialysis (PD), please contact us to discuss your options before travelling.
How long does each dialysis session take, and how often will I need treatment?
A typical haemodialysis session at Sils Dialysis lasts four hours, usually three times per week, following the prescription set by your home nephrologist — so treatment fits comfortably around beach days, excursions and cruise stops.
How much does holiday dialysis in Barbados cost, and how do I pay?
Sessions at Sils Dialysis are priced from USD 300 to USD 450 per haemodialysis session, depending on the number of sessions. Contact us at info@silsdialysis.com with your treatment dates for a confirmed quote. We accept all major credit cards.
Does Sils Dialysis accept travel or international health insurance?
