Major Relief for Kidney Patients: Treatment to be Available Through 6 Advanced Dialysis Machines

Morbi: A specialized dialysis center has been inaugurated at Mayur Hospital in Morbi under the CSR initiative of the Simpolo Foundation. The center is equipped with 6 advanced dialysis machines, making quality and affordable kidney treatment easily accessible to the people of Morbi and surrounding areas.

The dialysis center was inaugurated by Kantibhai Amrutiya, Minister of Labour, Skill Development and Employment, Government of Gujarat. The event was attended by dignitaries including Simpolo Group Founder Thakarshibhai Aghara, Jitendrabhai Aghara of Simpolo Group, Jayantibhai from B. T. Savani Hospital, and Dr. Jayantibhai Bhadesiya.

Collaboration for Accessible Healthcare

The entire cost of the machinery and long-term medical equipment support for the dialysis center has been provided by the Simpolo Foundation. This initiative has been undertaken in collaboration with B. T. Savani Kidney Hospital, which has been active in the field of kidney treatment for the past 24 years. The primary objective of this center is to provide high-quality treatment at reasonable rates to patients from all sections of society, without any discrimination of caste or community. Previously, patients from Morbi and surrounding areas had to travel long distances to larger cities for dialysis, increasing their financial burden and physical stress. The operationalization of this new center with 6 machines is expected to significantly reduce this burden.

Rising Need for Dialysis

Cases of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) are rising rapidly in India due to diabetes, hypertension, and lifestyle-related diseases. Approximately 2.2 lakh new patients are added every year in the country, resulting in an annual requirement of over 3.4 crore dialysis sessions. In Gujarat, the number of dialysis procedures at government centers has doubled over the last five years, rising from 2.73 lakh in 2021-22 to over 5.61 lakh in 2025-26. This year alone, more than 64000 patients have benefited from the 280 dialysis centers across the state.

Commitment to Long-Term Impact

Speaking on the occasion, Simpolo Group CMD Jitendra Aghara stated that the idea for this collaboration emerged from observing the difficulties faced by patients in the Morbi area in accessing regular dialysis. He emphasized that the Simpolo Foundation is committed to supporting healthcare infrastructure that creates a long-term impact on society. In addition to this, Simpolo has also provided a grant of 5 crore rupees to the newly constructed Sheetal Manju Patel Hospital in Rajkot, managed by the Saurashtra Kidney Research Institute. Notably, Sheetal Manju Patel Hospital will be the only transplant hospital in Saurashtra. The Simpolo Foundation has clarified that healthcare and community welfare activities will continue to be the primary focus of their CSR initiatives in the future.
