DCDC Kidney Care has acquired three dialysis centres during a recent PPP bid held by Delhi government. The combined capacity of centres is 60 machines. The centers will be located at LNJP Hospital, Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital, Tahirpur and Dr Hedgewar Arogya Sansthan.
Aseem Garg, Founder & MD, DCDC Kidney Care said, “We are humbled and honoured to be given this opportunity to serve the ESRD patients of Delhi. The government’s role has become very important in addressing the crisis at hand and we are very glad to be a part of this initiative in Delhi and would be very keen to replicate the same model in other states too.”
DCDC Kidney Care is reportedly going to provide quality dialysis at less than $20 which is a fraction of the cost of dialysis in US where average treatment is at $300. DCDC Kidney Care aims to bring down the cost of dialysis by at least 35 per cent through its innovative service offerings.
Garg added, “This is a step in the right direction and is clearly the future for ESRD patients. Hopefully this is just the beginning and with time we will see more opportunities like this arising in other states. Delhi government recognising us and our abilities is itself a motivation to reach our goal of 100 centres by 2015”.
The PPP in dialysis is expected to work in favour of citizens with below poverty line (BPL) cards and can avail the facility at Rs 1073 after the referral from government hospitals.
