State Cabinet Approves New Dialysis Centre to Boost Kidney Care

The cabinet convened and formally approved the creation of a state‑run dialysis centre, marking a significant step toward strengthening renal healthcare infrastructure. Officials said the decision responds to rising demand for dialysis services across the region. The new facility is expected to house multiple dialysis units, enabling treatment of several hundred patients weekly. Funding for the centre will be allocated from the state health budget, with construction slated to begin later this year. Health department officials anticipate that the centre will reduce travel burdens for patients who previously sought treatment in distant hospitals.
