Abstract

Dialysis centers attached to hospitals will be unable to meet the growing need of ESRD patients and this need will have to be fulfilled with standalone dialysis units. This study focuses on the capital expenditure and operational costs required to establish and run a stand alone 30 bedded dialysis unit in Hyderabad. The total project cost to establish a 30 bedded standalone dialysis unit would be Rs 2.8 crores. Operational cost per month to run the unit at 50–70% occupancy would be Rs 18.65 lakhs. Fixed costs per month would be Rs 14.6 Lakhs and the variable cost per session of dialysis would be Rs 1011.
