If any training is required to operate the said portal, it will be organised by the National Health Systems Resource Centre (NHSRC).

About Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Program

Ministry of Health & Family Welfare launched Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Program under National Health Mission in Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode in Union Budget 2016-17 to make Renal-care services affordable to BPL (Below Poverty Line) citizens. 

The Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Programme was rolled out on April 7, 2016, as part of the National Health Mission (NHM) for the provision of free dialysis services to the poor. At the same time, APL (Above Poverty Line) patients are also provisioned to avail of dialysis services at discounted rates.

"PMNDP envisages the provision of providing dialysis services under the NHM to ensure the delivery of high-quality, cost-effective services and develop a clinically safe and effective program. While the efforts would continue towards prevention and management of NCDs in the initial stages, providing access to dialysis care to treat End Stage Renal Disease is the key priority," said the government statement.
