Ward Assistant

Hans Renal Care Program is running successfully in the state of Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. There is a dire need for such an initiative in the North East Region although the Central Govt has already started implementing Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Programme (PMNDP) in the six northeastern states Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Nagaland. Howe'ver, it is not enough in light of the rising cases of CKD and access of people to the services. In state of Meghalaya, three out of 11 district hospitals are implementing the PMNDP. While the state government is striving to cover the districts with dialysis centers still the patients from poor segment and unprivileged community are not getting benefitted due to inability to afford care. The main objective of the program is to provide renal care services to needy people who don t have access to quality services. Initially five centers are proposed to be started consisting three hemodialysis machines in each center. The arrangements like minor repair, renovation and refurbishment of the infrastructure will be taken care of by THF. All manpower including doctor, technicians, nurses, ward boys and support staff will be placed in each center. These HRCCs will serve the purpose of improving their overall we'llbeing by increasing access to the renal care services and reducing a substantial cost.
