Last winter, a dialysis nurse from Namibia visited the NephroCare center in Kladno. Unusual connections led to this exotic visit. Saima tells her story and how she went to medical school in Czechia.
It was a welcome diversion for the staff of Fresenius NephroCare v Kladně when nurse Saima from Namibia came to visit. She wanted to meet with her friend Fata as they had both studied nursing in the Czech Republic. Fata originates from Senegal and now works as a dialysis nurse at the peritoneal dialysis outpatient clinic in Strahov. The two friends were thrilled about the reunion. Saima was also interested to see how dialysis centers are organised in other countries. The staff in Kladno was happy to show her around and have an animated exchange of experiences. Together, they went through the materials and devices, as Saima was interested even in small details of the treatment process.
