Need for Dialysis Machine:

The number of cases of acute renal failure is on the rise due to shock, resulting from excessive bleeding and dehydration. Also chronic renal failure due to kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy and hypertensive condition are increasing on daily basis.

Nephropathy incidences are increasing due to night occurrence of diabetes and hypertension requiring regular dialysis.

Dialysis is a very costly and long-term process. Patients from lower income family cannot afford kidney related treatment on their own. In India medical insurance is not very common and it is very costly, if it is available. There is no facility for dialysis in the surrounding area of 200km radius including KCJ hospital. Therefore, patients avoid taking treatments due to travel and expenses and that often result in fatalities.

Currently KCJ hospital is serving nearby villages in the districts like Bina, Khurai, Rahatghar, Rehli, Garhakota, Deori and Banda. For Kidney related issues patients have to travel more than 300 kilometers or more to get the treatment either in city of Bhopal or Jabalpur.

The requested dialysis machine will serve an area of well over 200 Km radiuses with mostly poor population of about two million.
