## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE (DR. BHARATI PRAVIN PAWAR)

(a) to (f): According to the study report 'India: Health of the Nation's States'- The India StateLevel  Disease  Burden  Initiative  in  2017  by  Indian  Council  of  Medical  Research  (ICMR),  the proportion  change  in  Disability  Adjusted  Life  Years  (DALYs)  number  for  Chronic  Kidney Diseases is 0.8% in 1990 to 1.6% in 2016.

Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Programme (PMNDP) was launched in 2016 with the objective to  provide  free  of  cost  dialysis  services  to  all  patients  Below  Poverty  Line  (BPL)  at  district hospitals in the country. Under PMNDP, State Governments are supported for providing dialysis services  free  of  cost  to  the  BPL  patients  under  the  umbrella  of  the  National  Health  Mission (NHM).  Financial support is based on the proposals received from the States/UTs as per their case load in their annual Programme Implementation Plans (PIPs).

PMNDP has been implemented in total 35 States/UT, in 569 Districts at 1045 centres by deploying 7129 hemodialysis machines. The details are provided in Annexure.

Treatment  of  Kidney  diseases  is  also  available  under  Ayushman  Bharat  -  Pradhan  Mantri  Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY). Financial assistance is provided to poor patients belonging to families living below poverty line, suffering from major life-threatening diseases including Kidney diseases under  Umbrella  scheme  of  Rashtriya  Arogya  Nidhi  and  Health  Minister's  Discretionary  Grant (HMDG). Financial assistance upto  a maximum of Rs. 1,25,000/- is provided under HMDG to defray  a  part  of  the  treatment  cost  and  the  maximum  financial  assistance  provided  under  the Umbrella Scheme of RAN is Rs. 15 lakhs. The quality generic medicines are made available at affordable  prices  to  all,  under  Pradhan  Mantri  Bhartiya  Janaushadhi  Pariyojana  (PMBJP)  in collaboration with the State Governments.
