Long waiting list for dialysis at SN Medical College in Agra, over 90 patients in queue
Patients at SN Medical College in Agra are facing significant challenges in accessing dialysis services. Despite the hospital operating four shifts daily, all available slots are currently occupied. More than 90 patients are presently on the waiting list, with many individuals traveling from neighboring districts to seek treatment at this facility, leading to a severe shortage of available slots for new patients.
VIMARSHNAARAD TVPatients seeking dialysis treatment at SN Medical College in Agra are currently facing a lengthy waiting period. Although the hospital administration has implemented a system of four daily shifts to provide dialysis services, the high volume of patients has rendered current capacity insufficient.
According to hospital data, there are currently over 90 patients on the waiting list for dialysis. These individuals must wait until a slot becomes available before they can receive the necessary medical procedure.
The facility serves not only the residents of Agra but also a significant number of patients arriving from surrounding districts. This influx of patients has placed immense pressure on existing medical resources, causing the waiting list to grow steadily.
Hospital management has stated that they are striving to provide care to the maximum number of patients possible within their current resource constraints. While the dialysis machines are operating continuously across all four shifts, a significant gap remains between the demand for services and the available capacity.
For patients requiring regular dialysis, timely treatment is critical for their health. The extended waiting period is causing substantial physical and mental distress to both the patients and their families.
According to the local health department, new patients will have to wait until slots currently occupied by existing patients become vacant. This situation highlights the increasing demand for specialized healthcare services in the region.
The medical college administration is exploring potential solutions to address these challenges and provide relief to those in need. At present, patients have little choice but to wait patiently for their turn to receive treatment.
