The A-One Dialysis programme currently operates across the state with 280 centres, facilitating approximately 4 lakh free dialysis procedures annually.The Institute of Kidney Diseases and Research Centre (IKDRC) Ahmedabad, which serves as the nodal agency for the programme, has issued a directive ensuring that no patient requiring dialysis should encounter any difficulties during this period.This move comes as a response to the protest by nephrologists throughout Gujarat who have refrained from providing dialysis services to PMJAY (Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana) patients for a duration of three days.The protest is aimed at opposing the reduction in the dialysis rates provided to private hospitals under the PMJAY scheme.--IANSjanvi/prw(Disclaimer: This post has been auto published from IANS news agency without any modification to the text and has not been reviewed by editor)
