Dialysis is one of the first technological innovations in medicine and the only treatment that does not involve any operation or transplant and yet allows a patient with end-stage organ failure to live a long, healthy and productive life. In India, dialysis is reserved for the very rich, or to those eligible for full medical reimbursement. Everyone else faces a long-term expenditure and descent into deep poverty. It is estimated that about 200,000 new patients develop end-stage kidney failure every year in India.
