News India Live, Digital Desk: Often when someone in the family has a serious kidney disease, the first thought that comes to mind is when will one have to go to Vellore, Delhi or Chennai for treatment. It has been a bitter reality for Ranchi and surrounding districts that due to lack of resources, patients are forced to go out for major operations. This not only increases the financial burden, but also doubles the problems of the patient’s family.
But now a good news is coming out regarding the health system of Ranchi. Two big hospitals of the capital are soon going to get the license to start ‘Kidney Transplant’.
Why was this facility necessary?
Every year, hundreds of patients come to Jharkhand who are in dire need of transplant. Till now, Government Medical College RIMS (RIMS) was the only main support here, where there is a long queue of patients. Due to lack of this facility in private hospitals, those who have a little money go to Delhi or South India. In such a situation, with the approval of two private hospitals in the city, this service will become even more accessible.
Administrative process and licensing route
It is being told that the necessary inspection work has been completed by the concerned department and the health department. Before any hospital is given permission for transplant, it is seen whether they have the necessary equipment, team of expert doctors and adequate backup or not. These two hospitals of Ranchi have met the standards and the paper process is now in its final stages.
What will be the direct benefit to patients?
- Time Saving: There will no longer be a need to travel to cities like Vellore or Delhi for operations.
- Less expenses: Additional expenses of staying outside and traveling will be saved, due to which the treatment will be less heavy on the pocket.
- With loved ones: Having treatment close to home also ensures patient care and mental peace, which is very important for recovery.
What to expect next?
Looking at the way the medical infrastructure is improving in the capital Ranchi, it would not be wrong to say that Jharkhand will soon make its mark as a ‘health hub’. If everything goes well, then news of successful kidney transplant can be heard here in the next few weeks. This step is a big ray of hope not only for the city but also for the poor patients coming from rural areas of the state.
