Dialysis Centre

Professionalism, safety and comfort for haemodialysis patients from outside the region and abroad.

Focus on your holiday while we take care of you.

The Riviera Ligure Dialysis Centres, directed by Nephrology Specialist Dr Angelo Sanguineti, were established with the aim of meeting the needs of Italian and foreign haemodialysis medical tourists.

The first dialysis centre was opened in Chiavari in 1981, before moving to San Salvatore di Cogorno in 1999.

Due to the many requests received from Riviera di Ponente, the Albenga dialysis centre was opened at the San Michele Clinic in 2016 and was joined in 2022 by the new Loano dialysis centre in splendid Villa Azzurra.

All of our centres are accredited by the Liguria Region and affiliated with the Italian national health service.

Bicarbonate dialysis and online haemodiafiltration treatments are carried out at our centres with latest-generation Fresenius equipment.
The staff is made up of qualified healthcare professionals, with an on-site physician available during haemodialysis sessions at the Albenga and San Salvatore di Cogorno centres. The Loano Centre is a Limited Assistance Centre (LAC).
