PATIENT SUPPORT GROUP


Patients living with kidney disease and kidney failure formed a support group under the leadership of Dr. V. Sarita. They attend classes to learn the basics of the Kidney disease, Hypertension and associated problems. They interact with each other and the Nephrologist to understand the difficulties in practising the advise of the Doctors and the ways to overcome those difficulties. This forum helps in bringing out the most practical way of coping with the kidney disease, enriched by their experiences.


With learned knowledge this group supports the Kidney patients coming to VGSC, by talking to them and offering an example of leading a quality life. Their support and education helped lots of patients overcome the fear of kidney complications and helped them to lead a quality life with good understanding of what is advised for what reason and how to follow up.


Support group has assisted VGSC in conducting educational sessions for general public, as in hypertension Awareness Day, world Kidney day and Dialysis patients Get together.
