The new facility is equipped with next-generation dialysis machines, NABH-compliant protocols, and a skilled team of nephrologists, dialysis technicians, and nurses. It has been set up to provide safe, high-quality, and affordable kidney care for patients in Cuddalore and adjusting regions.

The inauguration was graced by Dr. S. Mugunthan (President – IMA Cuddalore) and Dr. PV Krishna Kishore (NHB Secretary); Mr. M. Sudhakara Rao (COO, Apollo Dialysis Clinics) and Dr. A.
