Costs and Carbon Footprint of Kidney Dialysis in Vanuatu 

eSYS has been engaged by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) with SOS International to assess the cost and carbon footprint of kidney dialysis in Vanuatu under the Vanuatu Health Support Program.

This study will analyse the financial feasibility, infrastructure requirements, and environmental impacts of dialysis treatment, including water and energy use and medical waste.

Findings will support informed decision-making by the Vanuatu Ministry of Health and DFAT, ensuring dialysis service options are both cost-effective and environmentally sustainable.

The work aligns with broader goals of strengthening Pacific health systems and integrating climate resilience into essential healthcare delivery
