This ensures optimal care for patients requiring dialysis and reinforces our dedication to meeting the healthcare needs of our community.”

He said beneficiaries of the Megha Health Insurance Scheme (MHIS) can now avail benefits for haemodialysis covered under MHIS, making this vital treatment affordable and accessible to all patients.

Notably, the Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is also equipped with haemodialysis machines to provide necessary treatments for critical patients.
