New Delhi: In what would provide a sense of relief to kidney ailment patients, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat will on Tuesday inaugurate a facility in Delhi that will provide dialysis treatment for as less as Rs 500.

Not only this, poor patients will get dialysis at a lower rate.

Set up by the Jain society Bhagwan Mahavir Relief Foundation Trust, the Medi-Dialysis Centre is located in Jasola.

Notably, the RSS had provided its Jasola building for the centre, which will be overseen by the Bhagwan Mahavir Relief Foundation and Dr Hedgewar Memorial Trust.

Talking to news agency IANS, Dr Hedgewar Memorial Trust vice president Sukhraj said: "With the inspiration of the Sangh, the Jain society has opened this dialysis centre. In comparison to charges for dialysis in hospitals like Max and Apollo (Rs 5,500), it's just Rs 500 here. Poor patients will get dialysis at a lower rate. There will also be a meditation centre so that the health of patients can also be improved through meditation and yoga practice."

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari and Delhi 'sanghchalak' Kulbhushan Ahuja will be present, among others, at the inauguration ceremony.

According to RSS sources, the Sangh is inspiring its volunteers to provide low-priced treatment to the poor in the wake of the high cost of medical treatment.

Equipped with all the modern machines, the centre will also have facilities for yoga, meditation, and chanting.

The latest technology at the Centre will reportedly be used to cure patients in a way that they would not need dialysis later.
