Tamil Nadu adopts single-use haemodialysis policy
Change
Tamil Nadu has adopted a single-use haemodialysis policy that ends reuse of dialysers in government hospitals.
Why it matters
The policy ends reuse of dialysers in government hospitals. It requires use of single-use dialysers for haemodialysis sessions in government facilities. Per-session unit costs cited are ₹537 for multi-use dialysers and ₹687 for single-use dialysers (₹150 difference), with reprocessing involving additional costs for chemicals, manpower, and infrastructure. Single-use dialysers are included within the CMCHIS‑ABPMJAY maintenance haemodialysis package; the eight-session package rate is ₹8,800.
Implications
- • Procurement and supply-chain budgets must allocate for higher per-session device expenditure corresponding to single-use dialysers (₹687 per session).
- • Hospital capital and operating budgets can remove line items for dialyser reprocessing infrastructure, chemicals, and associated manpower.
