Tree Top Hospital Welcomes Dr. Ivan Neretljak for Specialized Kidney Care

Tree Top Hospital is excited to announce the arrival of Dr. Ivan Neretljak, a distinguished expert in transplant urology and dialysis access procedures. From November 25th to 28th, 2024, Dr. Neretljak will be offering specialized consultations and services to strengthen the hospital’s commitment to advanced dialysis and urological care.

Dr. Neretljak’s visit marks an important milestone for healthcare in the Maldives, as Tree Top Hospital introduces home-based kidney replacement therapy through peritoneal dialysis. Unlike traditional facility-based hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis offers patients the ability to undergo treatment at home, providing more convenience and comfort. This option will be particularly valuable for patients living in islands or younger individuals seeking greater independence from frequent hospital visits.

In addition to peritoneal dialysis, Dr. Neretljak will be conducting surgeries related to hemodialysis access, including fistula creation and repair. These procedures are essential for patients who require hemodialysis and need reliable access for treatment.

To support patients interested in learning more about peritoneal dialysis, Tree Top Hospital will host free counseling sessions led by Consultant Nephrologists Dr. Mladen Knotek and Dr. Jaya Nath. These sessions will provide valuable information for both current dialysis patients and those with kidney failure exploring treatment options. Patients can arrange sessions by contacting the hospital directly.

Tree Top Hospital remains committed to making these advanced dialysis services accessible and affordable. Full coverage for peritoneal dialysis and related procedures will be provided by MNDF, Police, and private insurance providers.

Since its founding in 2018, Tree Top Hospital has led the way in pioneering healthcare in the Maldives, aiming to reduce the need for patients to seek treatment abroad. By introducing cutting-edge medical services and ensuring high-quality care, the hospital continues to elevate healthcare standards in the region.
