Reincarnating Raipur
Householders will be trained for peritoneal dialysis on the lines of Soupabeda
Kidney patients in Chhattisgarh will no longer have to go to the nearest health centers for dialysis. Now they will start getting peritoneal dialysis under the government scheme while sitting at home. Due to this dialysis, the kidney patient will not have any problems in his routine work. Till now this facility was being provided to only 8 kidney failure patients in Supebeda of Gariaband district with the help of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). But now Health Minister TS Singhdev has issued an order to start it in the entire 20 districts by the end of December.
20 Health Secretary R.K. ordered to start of this system. On the instructions of Prasanna, a special review meeting was held on December 5, to which nephrologists were also invited. In the same meeting, it was decided that 52 registered patients should be given the facility of peritoneal dialysis in the first phase.
The family will be trained in 7 days
The nephrologist of AIIMS Dr. Vinay Rathore said that for this dialysis, the patient and his family members are trained in a week. For this, a tube is inserted in the patient’s lower abdomen in the hospital after minor surgery. Through this tube, the dialysate is put into the abdomen through a catheter and kept for a few hours. This dialysate absorbs the waste material from the stomach and then the dialysate is taken out of the stomach. This process is repeated three to four times daily.
