Peritoneal dialysis, a highly effective and globally recognized dialysis modality, stands on par with hemodialysis in terms of efficacy. In fact, several countries have adopted a “PD first” approach, prioritizing peritoneal dialysis for its significant benefits. This method is especially advantageous for a specific subset of patients who experience enhanced outcomes from peritoneal dialysis.

Despite its proven effectiveness, peritoneal dialysis is underutilized in India. The reasons are multifaceted, ranging from inadequate insurance coverage and lack of comprehensive training to insufficient public education. Additionally, policies at both local and national levels, along with limited reimbursement options, contribute to this scenario.

Our goal is to bridge these gaps and enhance the accessibility and adoption of peritoneal dialysis across India. Our approach is holistic, encompassing the training of nephrologists, staff, and other healthcare providers. We are committed to raising public awareness about the benefits of peritoneal dialysis and advocating with government bodies for its inclusion in healthcare programs and insurance schemes. By tackling these challenges, we aim to unlock the full potential of this exceptional medical procedure for the benefit of patients nationwide.
