Due to the nature of these diseases, infected patients are often not accepted for dialysis in majority of government hospitals. They are referred to a private centre which is too costly for most patients and eventually die from kidney related illnesses.
Following the procurement and installation of the dialysis machines by the Foundation, the state government – through the teaching hospital – The running and maintenance of the machines have been handed over by the Foundation to the state government – through the teaching hospital.
