An inspiring success story from our WCN\u201926 Yokohama PD Workshop participant, Joseph Tigarea from Fiji \ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddef<\/p>\n
Joseph recently performed his first peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter insertion independently \u2014 a major milestone that reduced the need to call in surgeons and strengthened local PD capacity in his center. Even more encouraging, he was able to train three registrars during the procedure, with one now feeling confident to perform the next insertion independently.<\/p>\n
Using innovation and adaptability, the team successfully improvised with a 12F Cook chest drain catheter, which worked perfectly.
\nStories like Joseph\u2019s highlight the real impact of hands-on training, mentorship, and collaboration in expanding access to life-saving PD care around the world. We are proud to see our workshop participants building confidence, teaching others, and advancing PD care in their communities. \ud83c\udf0d\ud83d\udc99<\/p>\n
\u201c I wanted to share a little success with you. I finally got to insert my first PD, and it felt so good not having to call the surgeons in. I also went through the procedure with three of my registrars, one of whom now feels confident to attempt the next one.<\/em><\/p>\n We improvised using a Cook chest drain catheter, size 12F, and it worked perfectly.<\/em><\/p>\n Thank you for the workshop and the great facilitators. \u201c – Joseph Tigarea<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Una inspiradora historia de \u00e9xito de DP (Di\u00e1lisis Peritoneal) del participante del Taller PD de WCN\u201926 en Yokohama, Joseph Tigarea, de Fiyi, quien realiz\u00f3 con \u00e9xito su primera inserci\u00f3n independiente de cat\u00e9ter de di\u00e1lisis peritoneal (DP), lo que marca un paso clave para fortalecer la capacidad local de DP.
