Very often patients with kidney diseases need dialysis. Kidney Foundation and a few other public hospitals have dialysis equipment. They are providing the service at a nominal cost, but the number of seats  is very limited in these hospitals. So, most patients have to depend on private clinics for dialysis where the charge is very high, meaning that it becomes impossible for many patients to bear the cost. In my opinion, government hospitals, private clinics and NGOs should come forward and give proper attention to this humanitarian issue so that more kidney patients can get dialysis at an affordable cost.
