The new equipment, costing ₹60 lakh in total, aims to provide uninterrupted dialysis services for employees in the coal belt.
Six new dialysis machines were inaugurated at the Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) Ramagundam Area Hospital in Godavarikhani on Monday, according to The Hindu.
SCCL Chief Medical Officer Kiran Rajkumar and RG-I Area general manager D. Lalith Kumar performed the inauguration in the Peddapalli district facility.
