Apollo Hospitals Enterprise has entered into collaboration with Medtronic, Inc., the global leader in medical technology, to bring to market an innovative, affordable and portable hemodialysis system in India. This would help improve access to care for End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients who need Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT).
This collaboration will leverage a Medtronic-developed technology platform, supported by clinical insight from Apollo envisioning a cost reduction by 10-20 per cent for patients. At present, on an average a patient spends about Rs 1,200 to Rs 2,000 for a dialysis.
Medtronic intends to develop and manufacture key components of this hemodialysis system in India which will be ready for commercial launch in 2016.
