Free Dialysis Center
Transforming Kidney Care in Kutch
Two decades ago, patients in Kutch suffering from kidney diseases faced immense hardships. With no local dialysis facilities available, they were forced to travel over 400 kilometers to cities like Ahmedabad, Rajkot, or Nadiad for life-saving treatment. This not only caused financial strain but also took a physical and emotional toll on patients and their families.
Recognizing this pressing need, MJF Lion Bharat A. D. Mehta, the Chairman of LNM Group Lions Hospital & Research Center, envisioned a solution to bring dialysis services to Kutch. Fueled by his determination to alleviate this burden, the Free Dialysis Center was established within the hospital.
