Paul BosawaiHoniara, Solomon Islands – January 27, 2025 – SWS Medical is proud to support the China-aid Comprehensive Medical Centre in Honiara by supplying its advanced SWS-4000 hemodialysis systems, in collaboration with Chinese medical teams from Guizhou Medical University Affiliated Hospital. This landmark project addresses critical gaps in kidney disease treatment in the Solomon Islands, showcasing the global impact of SWS technology—trusted by healthcare providers worldwide.

A New Era for Renal Care

 

SWS-4000 and SWS-4000A dialysis units in NRH

Before 2022, the Solomon Islands lacked nephrologists and dialysis facilities, leaving patients with no local options for treatment (PMC, 2024). The new Centre, featuring 24/7 emergency and imaging services, introduces the country’s first dedicated renal care unit, capable of supporting hundreds of dialysis patients annually. Equipped with SWS-4000 and SWS-4000A dialysis units at the National Referral Hospital (NRH), this facility marks a turning point in regional healthcare.

 

SWS-4000: Proven Technology, Global Reach

The SWS-4000 series, exported to nearly 90 countries and regions, delivers reliable, high-performance hemodialysis tailored to diverse environments. In China, institutions like Guizhou Medical University Affiliated Hospital rely on SWS systems—including the SWS-5000 for continuous blood purification—with excellent clinical outcomes. This same trusted technology now empowers the Solomon Islands to transform patient care.

Key Features:

• Climate Resilience: Demonstrated across diverse environments, from the tropical regions of Southeast Asia to the arid landscape of Europe.
• Precision Treatment: Achieves±1% accuracy in volumetric ultrafiltration,complemented with real-time KT/V monitoring.
• Efficiency & Safety: Automated disinfection minimizes the risk of infection

 

ACollective Success

Dr. George Malefoasi, CEO of NRH, emphasized the multi-phase collaboration driving this initiative. Since arriving in March 2022, the team from Guizhou Medical University Affiliated Hospital laid the foundation for renal care by introducing dialysis to the region with a single device and training local staff. Today, this partnership has culminated in a fully equipped facility, supported by:

• Launch Preparation: Staff training and system protocols, are set to conclude within two months (Solomon Islands Government, 2025).
• Sustained Impact: Three years of joint planning and evaluation to optimize outcomes.

SWS Medical’s contribution enhances its legacy by providing a sustainable solution for the future with the SWS-4000 series.
