Srinagar, Jan 07: District administration has approved Rs 1 crore to Government Medical College (GMC) Baramulla to upgrade dialysis services for patients.
Officials said that with this funding, the medical college will procure dialysis machines which will add to the bed strength to accommodate more patients from the entire north Kashmir.
Dr Parvaiz Masoodi, Medical Superintendent, Associated Hospital Baramulla said the Rs 1 crore has been approved by the District Administration Baramulla under CSR (NHPC).
“Currently, the dialysis centre has eight dialysis machines of which one is dedicated to Hepatitis C and AIDS patients. The seven machines in double shifts cater to 16 patients per day coming to the facility,” he said.
Now, they will be able to procure more than eight machines, he said, adding, “This means they will be able to cater to 32 patients in a day expanding its capacity to serve more patients.”
The MS said once the procurement process is completed through the Jammu and Kashmir Medical Supplies Corporation Limited and the machines are installed, they will ensure the facility operates 24/7.
Masoodi said there has been a growing demand for enhanced dialysis services due to the rising incidence of kidney diseases, especially among patients requiring regular dialysis.
He said that since the establishment of a dialysis facility at the medical college, over 400 dialysis patients from different areas of north Kashmir have taken benefit of the facility.
“Presently, we run the dialysis facility in two shifts to accommodate more patients. The enhancement in new machines will improve patient care,” Masoodi said.
The hospital administration has thanked the district administration and NHPC Uri for recognizing the need for upgradation in the dialysis centre amid huge patient flow.
Meanwhile, Principal GMC Baramulla, Dr Majid Jahangir said it was the need of the hour as the dialysis centre caters to patients of the entire north Kashmir. In the near future, we will further improve and augment the dialysis services amid increasing demand for dialysis, he added.
However, the medical college still does not have a nephrologist with officials saying that they have already taken up the matter with the concerned authorities of the Health and Medical Education Department.
