Lady Hardinge Medical College starts Hemodialysis facility after 29 years
New Delhi: The centre-run Lady Hardinge Medical College and Hospital in Delhi have inaugurated their Hemodialysis facility, marking a significant milestone after a gap of 29 years. Originally established in 1995, the facility remained dormant until now due to unspecified reasons.
According to an ANI report, Dr Subhash Giri, Director of Lady Hardinge Medical College said, "I came to know that dialysis facilities starting with the infrastructure, logistics, machines, equipment, consumables and manpower made in place in 1995. There may be some reasons why dialysis couldn't be started at that time and it has taken roughly 29 years to start the same facility again over here."
"Dialysis is required in the patients who have kidney failure, we have two conditions chronic renal failure and acute renal failure. In these two stages we require dialysis, chronic renal failure dialysis is required twice a week and when there is an acute renal failure then it is required more frequently.
In any medical college or super speciality dialysis facility is required and it should be available." he explained about medical conditions when dialysis is required, reported news agency ANI.
Recognizing the vital importance of dialysis facilities in medical institutions, Lady Hardinge Medical College plans to implement the dialysis facility in three phases. The initial phase involves the installation of two dialysis machines, each costing approximately 70 lakhs, to cater to four patients daily. The facility currently operates with two machines and separate bedded accommodations.
It has a capacity of twenty machines with twenty beds in future. Two machines facility has been made functional where in the morning we can do dialysis of four patients a day." said Dr Giri.
The inauguration of the Hemodialysis facility at Lady Hardinge Medical College and Hospital signifies a significant step towards enhancing healthcare services and addressing the critical needs of patients with renal ailments.
