About the Centre
The HBS Dialysis Centre started in September 2013, has been one of the core services at
HBS. It is one of the largest low cost, dedicated dialysis center in Bengaluru. There are
43 machines Fesenius dialysis machines in the centre including High end Sustained Low
Efficiency Daily – SLED machines.
The Center is headed by Dr. Zafar ul Haq, supported by a dedicated team of nurses,
Dialysis technicians and support staff.
Dialysis is a debilitation that not only affects the health of the patient, but creates huge
financial, emotional and personal distress to the patients and their family. Therefore, in
addition to providing dialysis, around 75% of the dialysis patients at HBS also receive
additional support such as monthly rations, transportation and sponsored education for
their children. Patients are also provided with breakfast, lunch or dinner while they
come for their treatment.
Some of the dialysis patients have been employed at HBS itself so that they get the
chance of working and treatment at same place so that they won’t miss their
treatments. HBS has also donated a few sewing machines to the families of dialysis
patients to enable them to make a livelihood.

They Are Just Like Us
Most of the patients who come in for their treatment are from adverse backgrounds
with little to no financial or family support.
It is our humble attempt to introduce you to some of them every month - their
background, their challenges, their ambitions, their hopes. They are like any of us, but
gripped with a debilitating condition which they refuse to be threatened by!
Ajaz Ahmed, 60 years
Ms. Asfiya w/o Ajaz, gets her husband to HBS hospital for dialysis for the past 7 years. She mentions her experience stating “HBS hospital changed my perception of medical help. Before coming to HBS, our experience with different hospitals was very bad. They cheated us, created unnecessary panic, small health issues were exaggerated and we were forced to shell out thousands of rupees. I was relaxed when I saw HBS being truthful to the patients.”
“I still remember my first day at HBS. I had walked in and saw a boy experiencing fits. He was on a wheelchair, when Dr. Zafar came to the boy who was semi-conscious, gave him an injection and saline, and a few minutes later the boy was alright. Dr. Zafar gave him Rs.500 and discharged him. Looking at this I was surprised, which hospital would do it, since then HBS became a major part of my life.” “HBS has provided me a huge relief by their continued support, even If my husband get dialysis free anywhere else we would not leave HBS!”

He started his treatment at another city hospital for 6 months until he was suggested to the HBS Dialysis Centre by his friend, whose daughter underwent Dialysis at the Centre.
“Dr. Zafar, the staff members including the housekeeping are very warm and extremely helpful. It’s been three months now and I am satisfied.They listen and take care of all of us very well. My prayers and wishes to Dr. Zafar and the entire staff. I’m grateful to them.“
