A qualitative study on the lived experiences of individuals with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) accessing haemodialysis in Northern Ghana.

Background: Haemodialysis is Ghana's most common form of renal replacement therapy for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). However, limited research has explored the experiences of individuals with ESKD receiving haemodialysis in relatively poorer regions, especially in the northern part of the country. This study explored individuals' experiences with accessing haemodialysis in northern Ghana and was guided by Levesque's conceptual framework of access to healthcare.
