Renal Care
At Global Healthcare Foundation India, we work with transplant organizations to spread awareness and enable knowledge sharing for patients preparing for a transplant. Our proposed activities include Partnership with Kidney Associations in various countries and collection of clinical data to aid evidence-based investigations.
Global Healthcare Foundation has helped more than 100 Renal Patients from underprivileged backgrounds in India to get free or subsidized dialysis. We have also supported a Renal Transplant patient with the cost of medicines.
