Virtual workshop in Kannada, for dialysis patients, caregivers and dialysis technicians at NephroPlus Dialysis Centres in Karnataka

It is found that due to lack of appropriate information, the patients and their caregivers are apprehensive about considering a transplant or kidney donation. The purpose of a series of such multi-lingual workshops was to educate and motivate the dialysis patients and their family members to consider a kidney transplant, as it is the only option that helps the patient to regain a good quality of life. 

 

On 29th January 2022, Mrs. Ranjini Shankar MS conducted a virtual workshop in Kannada, for dialysis patients, caregivers and dialysis technicians at NephroPlus Dialysis centres in Karnataka.

 

Mrs. Ranjini Shankar MS began by introducing MOHAN Foundation and TRIOMPH - patient support group. She then discussed the various challenges faced by the dialysis patients and shared that there was an opportunity for the patients to lead a normal, good quality life - through kidney transplant. Thereafter, she shared information on -

  • Types of donors - living and deceased

  • Tests for matching the donor and recipient
  • Legal approval procedures
  • Options in living donation if the potential donor and recipient do not match
