Sivakumar said the centre would also save the agency up to RM168 a month for a patient that goes for dialysis treatment up to 14 times.
At RM400 per session, it’s just too much for the 35-year-old who has two young children and is the sole provider of his family.
The new facility can offer treatment to 18 patients in a day and can complete the dialysis cycle for 36 patients every three days in a week. Socso had introduced dialysis facilities to its contributors suffering from end-stage kidney disease starting in 1999, and has spent RM334.67mil on treatment for its contributors in 2022.
