Mumbai: With Maharashtra under lockdown till April 14 to halt the spread of Sars-CoV-2, hundreds of dialysis and cancer patients who need to visit the hospital for routine check-ups are struggling to keep their appointments, for lack of transport. The director of Tata Hospital, Dr C S Pramesh, said they would hold a meeting with the BEST and BMC, requesting them to ply special buses for patients. Mumbai has more than 1,000 patients with renal failure, who need dialysis twice or thrice a week. “Dialysis helps regulate blood pressure and flush out toxins from the body and regulate sodium and potassium levels. Without this process, salts and toxins will accumulate in the blood, which will eventually poison the body, leading to permanent damage and death,” said Dr Geeta Sheth, JJ hospital.
