An educational, fun and entertainment-filled day for dialysis patients

 NephroPlus, India’s largest dialysis care network and a trailblazer in redefining dialysis care in India organized a day-long free, educational cum fun event for dialysis patients. The initiative is a flagship quarterly event of NephroPlus under the name ‘Aashayein’ held exclusively for dialysis patients aimed at helping them evaluate their awareness levels on the disease and self-care patterns, in addition to evaluating improvements in the quality of their lives. The activity was graced by Mr KamalD Shah, Co-Founder & Director of Guest Services, NephroPlus & Mr Sukaran Singh Saluja, Vice President, Operations  NephroPlus.

More than 100 patients and their family members with a similar set of problems gathered together under one roof to interact with each other; discuss their problems and most importantly – have fun. During the session, the patients also had a comprehensive discussion with Nephrologists, Urologists and Dieticians on the importance of leading a positive and normal life while on Dialysis, the process of kidney transplant, diet and stress management during the dialysis process.

Speaking on the occasion, Kamal D Shah, Co-Founder & Director of Guest Services, NephroPlus and himself on dialysis for the last 22 years said, “Through Aashayein, we wanted to show that dialysis patients can lead normal lives. At this event, patients hear Nephrologists, Urologists, Dieticians and most importantly, other dialysis patients talk about how to lead the life you want to and reduce dialysis to being just a small part of their life.”

There were a lot of fun activities organized for the patients along with an elaborate lunch in accordance with their diet.
