Key points
- Stays of one to three months are possible
- Regular blood tests continue abroad
- Stay in close contact with your home nephrologist
More and more retired patients spend part of the winter in the sun. On dialysis, a long stay is possible with a little more preparation.
Booking a long stay
Ask as early as possible: a long stay means reserving the same slot for many weeks. The centre may ask for a longer medical file and a letter from your nephrologist.
Blood tests and follow-up
Your usual monthly blood tests continue at the centre abroad. Ask for copies and send them to your home unit so your nephrologist can adjust treatment from a distance.
Medication
- Bring enough for the whole stay, or check with your doctor how to get refills abroad
- EPO and iron: discuss in advance with your home unit and the centre abroad
- Keep a list of your medications with their international names
Where to stay
Agadir and Marrakech are popular for winter long stays; see our weather chart and winter-sun destinations.
