SWS Medical's Commitment to Advancing Healthcare in Africa Through Innovative Dialysis Solutions

SWS Medical's Impact on African Healthcare

SWS Medical, the foremost supplier of blood purification solutions in China, is making significant strides in advancing healthcare throughout Africa. With their participation in the 2025 Congress of the African Association of Nephrology (AFRAN) to be held in Tunis, Tunisia, from April 15 to 18, SWS is showcasing their commitment to improving patient care in the region. Operating at booth number 7, the company aims to introduce their advanced dialysis technologies which are revolutionizing treatment methods for chronic kidney disease (CKD).

For over twenty years, SWS Medical has built a commendable reputation in the field of dialysis. Their products have reached over 80 countries and the company holds around 200 patents, solidifying their stature as a key player in the medical device industry. In 2024, SWS commanded a market share of 15.9% in China, which has impressively increased to 27.11% by February 2025. This upward trajectory is a testament to the widespread acceptance and demand for their innovative products.

SWS's established presence in over 30 countries within Africa—including Libya, Morocco, Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa—with more than 2,000 installed machines, reinforces its position as the leading exporter of dialysis machines from China to the continent. Their contribution extends beyond just selling equipment; SWS has embarked on the ‘Health Silk Road’ initiative which focuses on clinical capability enhancement and technology transfer. They have set up medical centers and training programs in various countries, providing nearly 100 dialysis machines to nations such as Mauritania, Niger, and Ethiopia in collaboration with the Chinese pharmaceutical industry and Sinopharm International. This effort not only augments local healthcare systems but also supports the WHO’s 2030 goals for chronic kidney disease treatment.

During the AFRAN event, SWS will introduce three flagship dialysis products:

1. SWS-6000 Hemodialysis Machine: This model, recognized as the best-selling dialysis machine in China, offers intelligent interaction and user experience enhancements. It provides real-time monitoring of vital parameters such as blood pressure, temperature, volume, and urea clearance, making it an essential tool for effective patient treatment.

2. SD Dialyzers Series: Standing out as China’s first series to incorporate advanced steam sterilization for improved biocompatibility, the SD line offers both low-flow and high-flow options. Its stable PES membrane and patented design optimize performance and enhance clearance rates through the innovative A.S.M. technology for efficient renal therapy.

3. TWT-EF210 Dialysis Solution Filter: This filter employs advanced steam sterilization to enhance molecular clearance and biocompatibility. It features a stable and permeable PES membrane along with four Hansen connectors for versatile integration, catering to diverse market demands.

Headquartered in Chongqing, SWS Medical is committed to providing groundbreaking medical products and services. Their portfolio includes blood purification devices, consumables, dialysis management systems, and an extensive network of dialysis centers. The company enjoys a unique strategic advantage with a comprehensive blood purification industry chain and is actively involved in setting national and industry standards in China.
