patient has to undergo a haemodialysis session twice- thrice a week. With
the facility being limited only to a few cities, patients would have to go
frequently to big cities from their residence. Each haemodialysis session
would cost Rs 1500-Rs 2000 per session apart from the expense of
transportation. This way the patient on dialysis would have to spend atleast
Rs 20,000-Rs 25,000 every month. With this facility being available in all
district hospitals at minimum expense, it has given great relief to kidney
patients.
