Continuing with its rapid expansion plans across India, kidney care specialist NephroPlus today announced the opening of their second unit in Bangalore at the VIMS Hospital in Marathahalli. This is the second unit for NephroPlus after it launched the first one at Koshy’s Hospital in Ramamurthy Nagar in March this year. The new centre at VIMS will have 6 beds with a peak capacity of 12 beds.
Following the highest quality standards to prevent cross infection, the unit will be monitored by NephroPlus’ highly effective remote monitoring system. The first-of-its-kind remote monitoring system monitors dialysis units including the machines and RO plants, and proactively manages health outcomes thereby ensuring ZERO cross infection.
As part of the new centre launch, NephroPlus has also announced a week long free kidney care camp for patients. Aimed at educating the people about the importance of renal care, the causes of kidney ailments as well as tips for a healthy kidney, the campaign will provide free kidney check- up from July 4th to – July 11that the NephroPlus clinic in VIMS Hospital, Marathahalli.
Speaking on the occasion Mr. VikramVuppala, CEO & Founder, NephroPlus, said, “With increasing incidence of renal ailments in the country, there is an urgent need for easy access to quality dialysis in the country. The opening of the new clinic is the extension of our vision to provide quality kidney care to one and all. We are looking at significantly expanding our presence across Karnataka and will be setting up more units in the coming months to reach out to patients in other parts of the State.”
NephroPlusplans to launch another five clinics with similar capacity in the next six months in Karnataka. NephroPlus will have standalone clinics as well as partner with leading hospitals and medical colleges in the stateto set up its state-of-the-art centres. Following the highest quality standards to prevent cross infections at any cost, NephroPlus is the first in the country to remotely monitor its dialysis units including the machines and RO plants. Several visitors from Karnataka who have experienced NephroPlus in Andhra Pradesh have expressed strong interest in NephroPlus setting up similar units in Karnataka.
India accounts for 20 lakh ESRD (End Stage Renal Disease) patients with one lakh new cases annually driven by diabetes and hypertension. ESRD cannot be treated with drugs and dialysis is the only option. There are some improvements in the dialysis process itself that are constantly being tried and adopted. However, the state of kidney care in India currently is in a shambles as more than 1/3rd dialysis patients get infected by life threatening HIV, Hepatitis C and Hepatitis B infections during dialysis.
There is an urgent need for world class kidney care and dialysis centres so that patients, especially from the economically weaker sections of the society, do not get sub-standard treatment that can turn life-threatening. Patients can feel safe at NephroPlus as it has kept its infection rate (during dialysis) at ZERO.
