BLK-Max Hospital extends medical expertise in Jammu

Delhi’s renowned 650-bedded BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital today launched its Nephrology, Urology & Renal Transplant OPD Services in Jammu in partnership with the city-based SDDM Hospital.

The OPD launch is yet another patient-centric step taken by the healthcare provider to empower patients with accessibility to quality healthcare services.

The facility will provide expert advice and treatment of Chronic Kidney Diseases (CKD), renal disorders as well as the urinary-tract system and male reproductive organs.

The OPD services were launched by Dr H.S Bhatyal, Director, Urology & Renal Transplantation and Dr Vishal Saxena, Director, Nephrology & Renal Transplant, BLK-Max Centre for Renal Sciences & Kidney Transplant. The doctors will be visiting SDDM Hospital for OPD every month for consultation.

Speaking on the occasion Dr Vishal Saxena said, “People often come to us with pain, weight loss and poor appetite, swollen ankles, feet or hands, puffiness under the eyes, shortness of breath, tiredness, blood in urine, an increased need to urinate, particularly at night, difficulty sleeping, dry and itchy skin and other symptoms of CKD. Prevention plays a pivotal role here. This is because treating a CKD patient is more expensive than preventing the disease altogether or curbing it in the initial stages. Regular health check-ups for screening of such conditions in the early phase are a must as this will not only help reduce the financial burden on the patient but also on the society, as a whole.”

Management of SDDM Hospital said, “We hope that with the latest available treatment and technology, from BLK-Max Hospital, our locals will be immensely benefitted.” Daily Excelsior
