WSPC Karachi,Call to help kidney patients

Kidney diseases equally afflict those who are privileged as those who are living in poverty. The treatment is expensive and long.

In order to make this treatment readily available for poor and needy patients the Welfare Society for Patient Care’s (WSPC) nephrology unit provides dialysis at a subsidised cost and if required, even free. Currently 100 patients from Sind Institute of Urology and Transplantation are being dialysed free of cost by the WSPC, a press release issued here on Sunday said.

The cost of haemodialysis per session is the lowest in the city. A patients’ treatment for one year requires approximately 104-dialysis session. In order to enable the provision of hygienic and uninterrupted treatment funds are constantly required for sponsoring patient’s treatment on a nominal cost.

WSPC is based at Zubaida Medical Centre, Dhoraji colony, and it houses a state of the art Dialysis Unit, which provides indoor medicine, surgery services, and a twenty-four hour department that provides emergency cover. Additional services provided by the WSPC are nutritional therapy, health awareness, music therapy and physiotherapy.
