Kidney patients need not travel so far now after the opening of a new dialysis unit.
The centre, at Langstone Gate, Havant, means patients won't have to go all the way to the Queen Alexandra Hospital for treatment.
Stefano Ciampolini, chief executive for Renal Services Plc, said: 'Patients have less travelling time and this is something they need to have treated three times a week. It's more comfortable – all the patients can be treated here rather than staying in hospital. We have about 35 patients treated at the moment but that's increasing every week.
'Everybody that has been here from Portsmouth NHS Trust, and our staff, are all very happy.'
In six months Renal Services has opened three centres like this in the south.
