The prime minister said, “Dialysis services were not accessible to the general public. Because it was expensive, it was difficult for kidney patients with poor economic conditions to get the service. The center also started free dialysis service from March 29, 2013 to help poor patients. In the center, not only the kidney but also the liver is transplanted. It is our responsibility to make it more modern and effective.”
PM Dahal also said that the capacity of Shaid Dharmabhakta National Transplantation Center will be enhanced.
