Delhi installs 300 free dialysis machines in a major healthcare initiative

Delhi installs 300 free dialysis machines in hospitals under PMNDP and PPP, enhancing kidney care for low-income communities.

The Delhi government has installed 300 dialysis machines across 16 government hospitals to provide free and affordable kidney care for underprivileged patients.
The initiative is being implemented under the Prime Minister National Dialysis Programme (PMNDP) and the state's Public-Private Partnership (PPP) dialysis project.
Health Minister Pankaj Singh said this initiative aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of expanding access to life-saving treatments and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta's commitment to inclusive healthcare.
"This is a significant milestone in our journey to build a healthier Delhi. Dialysis is a life-saving service and every person in need must have access to it, regardless of their financial status," Singh said.
Of the 300 machines, 150 were already operational under the PMNDP in 10 hospitals and 150 new machines have now been added across six more hospitals. The new facilities will further enhance capacity and bring relief to hundreds of patients suffering from chronic kidney disease.
Hospitals currently offering dialysis services include Lok Nayak Hospital, Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital and Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital among others. The newly added facilities include Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital, Janakpuri Super Specialty Hospital and Burari Hospital.
Under the PMNDP, dialysis will be free for BPL cardholders and beneficiaries in the PR and PRS categories with annual incomes below Rs 1 lakh. For the PPP model hospitals, residents who have lived in Delhi for at least three years and have valid identification and an annual income below Rs 3 lakh will also receive the service free of charge.
To ensure quality treatment, the government is deploying radiologists, trained technicians and support staff at all dialysis centres.
"This step is not just about expanding infrastructure, it is a strong message to the people that the government stands with them in their time of need," said Singh.
He added that the ultimate goal is to build an inclusive, accessible and future-ready health system in Delhi, positioning the city among the world's best healthcare models.

Millennials and Gen Z are at higher risk of kidney stones; experts suggest helpful lifestyle changes

<h2>Millennials and GenZ are at a higher risk of kidney stones. A 2023 study published by National Library of Medicine.&nbsp;</h2>

Kidneys are important for removing toxins from our body, but they are often neglected which leads to chronic kidney failure.
<h3>Kidney disease has increased by 50 per cent in the last 20 years</h3>
A 2023 study published by National Library of Medicine showed that the death rate due to kidney disease has increased by 50 per cent in the last 20 years.
The study also suggests that patients who have suffered from kidney stones are especially among millennials and Gen Z, and one out of five adults has chronic kidney disease.
Experts suggest that adopting healthier habits, such as hydration and a balanced diet, can prevent kidney-related issues.
<h3>Foods for healthy kidney&nbsp;</h3>
Leafy greens: Spinach, kale, and Swiss chard are rich in vitamins and minerals, low in potassium, and high in antioxidants.
Berries: Blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are packed with antioxidants and low in potassium, making them excellent choices for kidney health.
Fish: Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and trout are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties and can support kidney function.
Cauliflower: This versatile vegetable is low in potassium and a great substitute for higher-potassium foods like potatoes.
Garlic: Garlic contains compounds that may help reduce inflammation and lower cholesterol levels, benefiting kidney health.
Apples: Apples are a good source of fiber and antioxidants, and their low potassium content makes them a kidney-friendly fruit option.
<h3>Foods to avoid kidney diseases&nbsp;</h3>
Processed meats: Processed meats like bacon, sausage, and deli meats are high in sodium and phosphorus, which can strain the kidneys and contribute to kidney disease.
High-sodium foods: Excessive salt intake can increase blood pressure and put a strain on the kidneys. Avoid high-sodium foods like canned soups, packaged snacks, and processed foods.
Sugary drinks: Beverages high in sugar, such as soda, energy drinks, and sweetened fruit juices, can contribute to obesity, diabetes, and kidney damage. Opt for water, herbal tea, or unsweetened beverages instead.
Foods high in phosphorus: Foods rich in phosphorus, such as processed foods, carbonated drinks, and certain types of cheese, can be harmful to individuals with kidney disease. Limiting phosphorus intake is essential for kidney health.
High-potassium foods: People with kidney disease or reduced kidney function may need to limit their intake of high-potassium foods to prevent hyperkalemia. Examples include bananas, oranges, tomatoes, potatoes, and avocados.
