Odisha Tackles Rising Chronic Kidney Disease Trend
The government in Odisha is trying to find ways to stop more people from getting a sickness called Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
They noticed that more and more people are getting this sickness, similar to what's happening in other parts of India.
Odisha already offers free help for people who need dialysis to clean their blood because their kidneys aren't working.
Many people are already getting this help.
Experts are going to study why people get CKD, looking at things like diabetes, high blood pressure, and lifestyle choices.
They plan to create a special list of people with CKD and build a website to keep track of all the information.
They also want to create simple messages to teach people how to prevent kidney problems and find them early.
Odisha government is initiating a comprehensive plan to manage and prevent Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
A rising trend of CKD has been observed in Odisha, mirroring a national increase.
The state currently provides free dialysis to over 18,800 patients across 70 centers.
Future plans include detailed studies on CKD causes, establishing a CKD registry, and developing a data integration portal.
Strategies for public awareness, screening, and early detection of kidney diseases will be implemented.
