It is the “first such hospital in Delhi-NCR” focused on nephrology and urology, the hospital authorities claimed.
“Kidney ailments are quite difficult to diagnose and once they start advancing things become so tough for the patients unless managed under expert care. I also feel food is a medicine for every disease. Kidney ailment can be prevented by adopting good lifestyle. Prevention and early detection is the cure,” Vardhan was quoted as saying in the statement.
