Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis CAPD being promoted to reduce dependence on time-consuming and cost-intensive haemodialysis
The Health department has initiated a scheme in 11 districts for offering peritoneal dialysis free of cost at home for patients with chronic kidney diseases (CKD), a statement issued by Health Minister Veena George said here on Wednesday.
Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) is being popularised among CKD patients as a first step to reducing dependence on haemodialysis, which can only be done in major hospitals, is time-consuming and cost-intensive, the statement said.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
