Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has emerged as a significant public health concern in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa, necessitating effective dialysis treatment. However, the quality of dialysis care is often compromised by a lack of adequately trained healthcare expert in the dialysis unit both public government facilities and privately owned centers especially the technicians. This paper reviews existing literature on the current state of dialysis treatment in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa, emphasizing the critical role of technicians in enhancing patient outcomes. It explores educational initiatives, more advance and realistic training programs, and policy recommendations aimed at improving the knowledge and skills of dialysis technicians who work in the dialysis units for both government and privately owned centers. The paper concludes with a call for comprehensive strategies that integrate technician training into the broader health care framework to improve dialysis services in Nigeria and sub- Sahara Africa.
