NephroPlus expands operation in Chennai

NephroPlus, the Hyderabad-based kidney care clinics network brand, opened its fifth centre in Chennai in the reputed Vee Care Sundar Hospital at Poonamalle, Chennai. The centre has a capacity of 12 hemodialysis stations and can serve about 100 dialysis patients.
 
Meanwhile, the company has said that it is planning to expand its operations to the neighbouring countries and tie up with various State governments in India in near future. “The company is looking at plans to expand operations to overseas, especially in the neighbouring countries where affordable kidney care options are required, and would have a pilot project established in one of the neighbouring countries by 2015,” said Sandeep Gudibanda, Co-founder and Director, Business Development, NephroPlus.
 
He added, “The overseas project would be in a pilot basis, mostly in partnership with a local player, who might be in a related sector.”
 
NephroPlus is also looking at tie up with state governments and hospitals, where it can manage the dialysis centres cost effectively for the hospitals, through public private partnership. It is currently managing an ESI facility and a hospital in Andhra Pradesh and is working on managing two more centres in Mandhya Pradesh and Goa for the State governments.
