Hyderabad: Studies suggest more than 30 per cent of women are not able to access dialysis centres or get chronic kidney stage identified due to financial constrains and sheer negligence by families.
A study by 128 centres in India found that getting females for dialysis is cumbersome and expensive at the same time.
The financial bias in rural areas is 26 per cent, semi-urban areas 29 per cent and urban areas 33 per cent.
Despite having the best centres within and around the city, women are not given a chance to get the treatment done.
Despite many centres under Aarogyasri in government sector, 26 per cent of women were found deprived of the treatment in both the Telugu states.
Vikram Vuppala, who carried out the survey said, “Statistics and interviews show that the basic mentality of providing care to women is missing. This shows that when it comes to healthcare, treatment for women within the structure of the family is not a priority.”
