Overview

According to the statistics available, India accounts for 12 to 15 lakh end stage renal disease (ESRD), with 1 to 1.5 lakh new cases getting added annually. With the increased incidence of diabetes and hypertension, the number will increase more.  Due to the lack of facilities, only 10 per cent have access to the right treatment.

With the announcement of the Government of India to start National Dialysis Services Programme to cover poor patients by providing dialysis services in all district hospitals through the public-private partnership (PPP) mode under the National Health Mission (NHM), NephroPlus has expressed sincere interests in partnering with the central and the various state governments to  make quality care accessible.

Key Highlights

The funding by SCP is a strong validation of the efforts of NephroPlus in the dialysis segment of the Indian healthcare ecosystem. It has been offering the highest quality dialysis services and spearheading change in the way treatment is done both domestically and globally. With 75 centres currently across India, NephroPlus has been encouraging patients to live life normally.
