Kidney Support Network’s prime objective is to support Kidney Failure patients.
Maintenance Dialysis is an expensive treatment modality which Kidney Failure patients to undergo throughout their life until they get kidney transplant, which is a rare possibility considering the expenses and kidney donor match.
However, in both the cases the patient has to take continuous medication. In case of being on Dialysis an average maintenance hemodialysis patient takes medicines which cost on an average INR 6000 to 8000. The cost of medicines can be multifold for kidney transplant patients considering they have to take immunosuppressants post transplant along with other medication.
Many a kidney failure patients can not even support regular maintenance dialysis cost and the medicine expenditure over and above that is further another layer of financial burden.
The extra cost of Medicines can actually be utilized by dialysis patients for various other causes like – getting proper dialysis doses/number of sessions, enjoying a better lifestyle, save the money for other purposes.
Kidney Support Network’s pharmacy project targets this problem. KSN Pharmacy does not charge any net margin/profit on medicines sold to patients with an expectation that it will reduce financial strain on kidney failure patients and patients can utilize saved money somewhere else as per their choice.
