Frequently asked questions

Can I request dialysis during a trip to the Ruhr region?

Yes, you can request holiday dialysis at the Sanecum location in Lünen near Dortmund. The final appointment confirmation is made after a review of availability and your medical information. A request is initially non-binding.

Where is the Sanecum location in the Dortmund region?

The location is in Lünen, directly north of Dortmund on the Lippe river. Lünen is well connected to Dortmund and the other cities of the Ruhr region by regional train and bus, so the journey from centrally located accommodation can be planned easily.

Is the Ruhr region suitable for a stay with dialysis?

The Ruhr region offers short distances, a very dense public transport network and many calm, easily reachable destinations – from industrial heritage and parks to the Phoenix-See lake. This makes it easier to plan around treatment days, and activities can be arranged at your own pace with plenty of breaks.

What can I do around Dortmund?

Popular destinations include the Zollern colliery, the Westfalenpark with its Florian Tower, the Phoenix-See lake in Hörde and the nearby Zollverein UNESCO World Heritage Site in Essen. Many sites are low-barrier and easy to explore on calm, level paths.

What documents should I have ready for my request?

It is helpful to have a current dialysis plan, your medication plan, your infection status and the contact details of your home dialysis center. We also need your travel period and your preferred dialysis days.

Are my preferred appointment times guaranteed?

No. Dialysis times and availability are reviewed individually as part of your request. We make every effort to find a suitable rhythm but cannot confirm fixed times before the review is complete.

How do I get to my treatment appointments in the Ruhr region?

Depending on your accommodation, the journey can be planned by S-Bahn, light rail, regional train, bus, taxi or transport service. The dense VRR network connects Dortmund and Lünen reliably, so the location is easy to reach even from centrally located accommodation.

When should I request my holiday dialysis?

We recommend requesting as early as possible, as the review of availability and medical requirements takes time. This leaves enough room to plan your stay in coordination with the dialysis center.
