Government hospitals in Haryana, including PGIMS Rohtak, have delivered 1.89 lakh free dialysis sessions to patients suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease during the financial year 2025–26, a senior official said on Tuesday.
At the same time, the Department of Nephrology at PGIMS Rohtak has recorded a 100 per cent success rate in 34 renal transplant procedures carried out between February 2023 and April 2026. Sharing these details, Additional Chief Secretary, Health and Family Welfare, Haryana, Sumita Misra, said the programme has shown steady and encouraging progress since its launch.
Misra noted that the renal transplant initiative was first introduced in 2023 during her earlier tenure in the Medical Education and Research Department. The programme began with two successful cadaveric transplants and has since expanded significantly. A total of 10 transplants were conducted in 2024, followed by 17 in 2025, and four more have already been completed in 2026, indicating both improved institutional capacity and growing public confidence.
She further explained that while the initial transplants were primarily based on cadaver donations, there has been a noticeable shift towards living donor transplants in recent times. This trend reflects increasing public awareness, greater community participation, and improved acceptance of organ donation practices.
The state government is also providing comprehensive support to CKD patients, including free dialysis services, essential medicines and diagnostic facilities across Haryana. According to the official statement, dialysis units are operational at PGIMS Rohtak as well as in all district hospitals.

During 2025–26 alone, PGIMS Rohtak conducted 20,466 dialysis sessions, where patients also benefit from free medical consultations and continuous follow-up care. The institute registered approximately 400 to 500 new CKD patients over the past year, highlighting the growing demand for such services.
At present, 125 patients undergoing dialysis are awaiting renal transplantation. To facilitate timely treatment, all necessary medical investigations for these patients are being provided free of cost.
To further strengthen the programme, the Haryana government has designated renal transplantation as a flagship healthcare initiative. As part of this effort, two specialised transplant surgeons have been appointed on a monthly remuneration of ₹3.5 lakh each. Additionally, the government has ensured the availability of advanced infrastructure, essential medicines, and robust support systems.
Misra pointed out that renal transplant procedures, which typically cost at least ₹5 lakh in private hospitals, are now being offered free of charge to residents of Haryana at PGIMS Rohtak. This initiative has significantly enhanced access to advanced, life-saving treatment for patients across the state.
