Karnataka Health Department installs 50 free dialysis machines in government hospitals across major taluks
The state health department has added 50 advanced free dialysis units to government hospitals in key taluk centres, expanding access for low‑income patients.
The Karnataka Health Department has installed 50 new state‑of‑the‑art free dialysis machines in government hospitals across the state’s major taluk centres, aiming to improve access for economically weaker sections.
The advanced machines will provide free dialysis treatment to patients with kidney failure who cannot afford private facilities, reducing the financial burden on low‑income families.
The deployment is part of the department’s broader effort to strengthen public health infrastructure and lower out‑of‑pocket expenses for chronic disease patients. Officials said the new units will complement existing dialysis services and help meet the growing demand for renal care.
Health officials anticipate that the additional capacity will serve thousands of patients each month, reducing the need for travel to distant private centres.
