Summary
- Dialysis facilities are now available in all 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh.

As of May 17, 2026, Uttar Pradesh has achieved a significant milestone in healthcare accessibility, with dialysis facilities now operational across all 75 districts. This expansion aims to bring crucial kidney ailment treatment closer to patients' homes.

The 39th foundation day of the nephrology department at SGPGIMS highlighted the theme 'From Vision to Reality: Replicating Successful Deceased Donor Transplantation Models Across Uttar Pradesh.' Officials underscored the critical need for organ donation, noting that approximately 2 lakh Indians develop severe kidney diseases annually. Free dialysis is being provided, alongside an expansion of ICU and super-speciality facilities.
Appeals were made to the public to actively participate in organ donation awareness campaigns. It was emphasized that one brain-dead donor can save up to eight lives. Donor families were honored for their life-saving contributions. Experts suggested that leveraging deceased donor transplantation models from states like Tamil Nadu and Gujarat, through coordinated systems and public participation, could significantly boost organ transplantation rates in Uttar Pradesh.
