Dialysis treatment is quite an expensive process in the country, which the poor and needy fail to receive. Absence of such service has often been fatal in many instances.

Apex group of Hospitals official said, “We strive to enhance accessibility to vital dialysis services for kidney patients. This partnership underscores our commitment to fostering a supportive environment for renal health, ensuring that individuals facing kidney challenges can access the care they need with ease. Our joint initiative aims to make a positive impact on the lives of those navigating kidney-related concerns. We dedicate Free Dialysis Centre to Mumbaikars, specially the people from western suburbs who fit in categories of Yellow and orange ration card. Dialysis is a recurring expense with each session costing around INR 800- INR 3000 per session in private dialysis centers and Hospitals. Patients need 3 sessions in a week which is beyond the budget of an average family."
