This was inaugurated today by former President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. The unit goes to the homes of ailing patients who are unable to travel to the hospital and also who prefer to do it at the convenience of their home, a Manipal Hospital release said.
The mobile dialysis unit can also be transported to smaller hospitals and nursing homes where such facilities are not available, allowing the patient to get treatment closer home rather than moving from one hospital to the other and can perform 6 dialysis in a stretch in different locations.
With this unique initiative Manipal Hospital provides patients who require regular dialysis to undertake the treatment in the comfort of their own homes.
