boost health tourism in Goa a big way. Now dialysis patients can look forward
to their dream holiday destination Goa with NephroPlus offering different
travel packages. It is customized as per the guest needs. The duration and
place of holiday has to be submitted and Holiday dialysis launched by
NephroPlus will ensure the patient of a worry-free holiday.
People
on dialysis can and will be able to travel and experience the joys of a
relaxing holiday in Goa with the professional and world-class quality of
NephroPlus; a single point of contact for all arrangements from flight / train tickets, hotel bookings,
cab bookings and dialysis. All one needs
to do is to decide the dates and Holiday Dialysis by NephroPlus will do the
rest.
Dialysis
involves filtering impurities from the blood when a patient’s faltering kidneys
can no longer do so. Originally a temporary stopgap for those awaiting transplants,
it has become the standard treatment for advanced kidney failure. Fewer than 10
per cent of patients opt for peritoneal dialysis, which can be done at home.
Most undergo hemodialysis at a center where machines clean the blood and
correct chemical imbalances.
Typically,
dialysis patients are wary of travel. Apart from the hassles and effort
associated with figuring out logistics such as travel and stay, they also need
to worry about where they will get their dialysis sessions done. With the increasing
incidence of cross infections with viruses such as Hepatitis C, B and HIV,
dialysis patients are worried whether a dialysis centre at the holiday
destination would offer good quality dialysis or not? Would they be risking
their life by going on a holiday?
NephroPlus
addressed both these concerns of those on dialysis by their Holiday Dialysis
program. The NephroPlus team takes care of the entire logistics and the
patients do not need to undertake any onerous activities such as flight/train
tickets booking, hotel bookings and cab bookings. Further, dialysis is arranged
at NephroPlus’s high quality and protocol-oriented dialysis centres where the
patient can get a dialysis session without having to worry about cross
infections or low quality dialysis.
By
utilising this program, dialysis patients can experience a hassle-free and
enjoyable holiday at various destination including Goa.
Holiday
Dialysis by NephroPlus is now available in Goa, Alleppey, Tirupathi, Varanasi,
Amritsar, Dehradun, Agra and major states in India.
Speaking
about the Holiday Dialysis program, Kamal D. Shah, Co-Founder and Director,
Patient Services of NephroPlus and a dialysis patient from the last 20 years
himself, said, “We strongly believe that people on dialysis should lead a
normal life which includes the opportunity to travel and enjoy a vacation from
time to time. Dialysis should not hinder anyone from doing anything that wants
to do. I am on dialysis myself and here in Goa for a holiday with my college
friends. I would like everyone on dialysis to be able to do this. That is why
we started the Holiday Dialysis program where they can enjoy a holiday without
the hassles of booking flights, hotels etc. and worrying about the quality of
dialysis at the holiday destination. By setting up a dialysis centre in Goa, we
now offer those on dialysis the freedom to enjoy the beaches of Goa and get
good quality dialysis here. We hope more and more patients would avail this great
opportunity.”
