Augmenting Dialysis Treatment Facilities
Data regarding availability of infrastructural facilities for dialysis treatment in the country is not maintained centrally.
Health being a State subject, it is primarily the responsibility of the State Governments to provide health care including dialysis facilities for the patients. The Central Government, through the hospitals under it, supplements the efforts of the State Governments.
Dialysis facility is available at the Central Government hospitals including All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Delhi; Dr. Ram ManoharLohia Hospital, Delhi; Safdarjung Hospital, Delhi; Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), Puducherry, Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences (NEIGRIHMS), Shillong and Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Imphal.
To enhance treatment facilities, the Central Government has approved setting up of AIIMS type of Institutions in 9 States. Assistance for up gradation of tertiary care facilities at 70 medical colleges is also approved.
State Governments can also consider providing dialysis services at District Hospitals through Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode under National Health Mission. A scheme for dialysis has also been announced in the 2016-17 budget speech by the Finance Minister.
The Health Minister, Shri J P Nadda stated this in a written reply in the RajyaSabha here today.
