In one go, 100 patients can be provided dialysis service. The service at the centre will be free. We haven’t built any cash or billing counter. The patients and their attendants will be served meals from the langar,” said Sirsa.
The capacity will soon be increased to 1,000 beds from the current 101 beds and renowned dialysis specialist doctors of the country will manage the facility he added.
