Fortis Launches Chain of Stand-alone Dialysis Centres

Fortis Healthcare (India) has announced the launch of Renkare, a chain of stand-alone dialysis centres, at Greater Kailash 1 in New Delhi. These centres will expand Fortis’ reach and help meet the rising demand for quality dialysis. The company plans to set up 50 stand-alone dialysis centres across the country over the next two years, in a phased manner. In the first phase, six centres will come up across Delhi and NCR covering the territory in the North, South, West and East.

Alongwith a team of highly talented and experienced renal specialists and state-of-the-art equipment and technology, Renkare will offer 'excellence in dialysis' through reliable, safe and effective services in a hygienic and home-like environment. The centres will focus on educational programmes, to help patients live reasonably healthy and productive lives, even while on haemodialysis. The centres will have standardised, international dialysis protocols, including the unique Water Testing Protocol, combined with a meticulously clean environment and other comforts like reclining chairs, WiFi connectivity and personal LCD screens for a relaxed dialysis experience.

Speaking at the inauguration, Aditya Vij, CEO, Fortis Healthcare (India), said, “We consistently strive to offer the highest quality in healthcare services, employing the finest medical talent, using the latest technologies and widening the range of offerings for our patients. With Renkare, we will establish a pan-India network of stand-alone centres that will offer a high quality, convenient and relaxed experience to dialysis patients.”

Dr Varun Sethi, CEO, Renkare added, “Our dialysis centres will expand the access and options for care for patients on dialysis. We aim to provide a network of quality dialysis centres to the growing populace with kidney failure. We will start with major metros, and expand the network to Tier-II and III cities, where access to care is most needed, but often unavailable.”
