Kidney Transplant & Dialysis Care for Patients from Sirsa

Introduction

Patients from Sirsa, in Haryana's far western belt bordering Punjab and Rajasthan, travel a longer distance —
around 250 km — to reach Chandigarh/Mohali for advanced kidney transplant and complex dialysis care not
available locally.

Kidney Transplant Chandigarh at IVY Hospital, Mohali, works with Sirsa patients on advance planning to make
the distance more manageable, minimising the number of separate trips wherever possible.
