Ballari, June 28 (HS) One dialysis machine has been set up in the isolation ward at the Covid designated District Hospital for Covid -19 patients.

Speaking to the media, Deputy Commissioner S.S. Nakul said that we were facing difficulties in treating those Covid patients, who were suffering from other co-morbidities like kidney and renal related ailments. Therefore, we reserved a separate dialysis unit in the isolation ward to treat Covid-19 patients.
Dr. N. Basireddy, District Surgeon, said that we have dialysis units at our dialysis center at District hospital and the separate unit is functioning at VIMS (Vijayanagara Institute of Medical Sciences). Both the units are engaged in serving the kidney patients. After a separate dialysis unit, Covid patients will get the dialysis facility in isolation ward, which will help in containing the infection too.
