Epitome Kidney Urology Institute & Lions Hospital opens first centre in Delhi NCR

New Delhi: The Epitome Kidney Urology Institute & Lions Hospital, Delhi NCR's first holistic nephrology and urology hospital was inaugurated by Dr Harsh Vardhan, Member of Parliament and Former Union Minister, Health & Family Welfare.

Epitome with its state-of-the-art facilities and a team of highly experienced doctors and healthcare professionals will provide comprehensive nephrology and urology services in one location. This is an initiative planned in collaboration with Lions Service Trust, making Epitome Kidney Urology Institute the first such hospital in Delhi NCR, focused on nephrology and urology.

Dr Vardhan said “Kidney ailments are quite difficult to diagnose and once they start advancing things become so tough for the patients unless managed under expert care. I also feel food is a medicine for every disease. Kidney ailment can be prevented by adopting a good lifestyle. Prevention and early detection is the cure”.

Epitome Kidney Urology Institute and Lions Hospital is 80 bedded facility with a 24*7 emergency, critical care (ICU), 30-bed dialysis centre equipped with state of the art haemodialysis and online-hemodiafiltration (Online-HDF) machines augmented with online dialysis water treatment system to provide ultra-pure water, two modular operation theatres (with the latest technology including Holmium laser, laparoscopy and endourology).

Hospital Management, also announced that internationally renowned Nephrologist Dr Vijay Kher is joining the mission the hospital has embarked upon and welcomed him as Chairman of the Medical Board and Department of Nephrology & Kidney Transplant.

Once kidney disease develops and progresses to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), there is limited access to renal replacement therapy (dialysis or transplant) in India. In such a situation, Epitome will not only provide excellent dialysis services to the community but with its expert nephrologists and dialysis staff, it will also provide training to dialysis technicians to improve the current manpower shortage in the country. Epitome Kidney Urology Institute and Lions Hospital will also be leading community awareness campaigns utilising all the tools of the current age, camps, social media, animations and lectures, to reduce this burden.
