One Nation-One Dialysis: Breaking Barriers, Empowering Lives.

Abstract

The objective of India's One Nation One Dialysis (ONOD) program is to remove the barriers that end-stage kidney disease patients face in accessing consistent, quality dialysis services across the nation. A unified and standardized dialysis care approach is what ONOD aims to achieve at a national level. The objective of ONOD is to improve access to, affordability of, and quality in dialysis services for economically weaker segments of society and those living in remote areas of the country by providing dialysis services through public-private partnerships. The ONOD program places a lot of emphasis on the infrastructure development, funding support, skill development, regulatory reforms, and technological integration of dialysis services. By implementing ONOD, India can improve patient outcomes, close the supply-demand gaps for end-stage kidney disease kidney replacement therapy, and create a more balanced and sustainable kidney healthcare ecosystem.
