MoHFW launched the Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Programme (PMNDP) on 7 April 2016 under the National Health Mission (NHM) to provide free dialysis services. The objective of the PMNDP program is to improve access to dialysis services (Both Hemodialysis & Peritoneal Dialysis). Under PMNDP programme setting up of haemodialysis centres in all the district hospitals initially and on saturation scale down till the Community Health Centres (CHCs) at the taluka level, as per the requirement of the state.

Ministry of Health and Family Welfare provides technical and financial support for the expansion of dialysis services under Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Program as per the Programme Implementation Plans (PIPs), based on the dialysis burden and gap assessment undertaken by the States/UTs. Proposals received from State/UT are discussed during the National Programme Co-ordination Committee Meeting (NPCC) and financial support is provided as per the existing norms. State Programme Implementation Plan ( SPIP) approval for Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Programme (PMNDP) under NHM for all States/UTs including Telangana during the Financial Year 2025-26 is Rs. 961.51cr.

As per PMNDP Portal, PMNDP has been implemented in 36 States/UTs including Dialysis services including Telangana. Dialysis services are available across 33 districts of Telangana in Public Private Partnership (PPP) Mode, ensuring statewise coverage for patients requiring renal replacement therapy, in view of the increasing incidence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and other related diseases. In total, 99 dialysis centres are currently operational in the states, equipped with 747 functional dialysis machines. MoHFW conducts regular assessment of PMNDP, through Common Review Mission (CRM), field visits by senior officials and teleconsultations with the States/UTs from time to time.

Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri-Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) provides health coverage of ₹5 lakh per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization to 12 crore families, constituting the bottom 40% of India's population. In March 2024, the scheme was expanded to include approximately 37 lakh additional families of ASHA workers, Anganwadi Workers (AWW) and Anganwadi Helpers (AWH). Subsequently, in October 2024, the scheme was further expanded to cover about 6 crore senior citizens aged 70 years and above belonging to 4.5 crore families, irrespective of their socio-economic status. As on 28 February 2026, a total of 1.44 crore hospital admissions for dialysis-related procedures have been authorized under AB PMJAY.
