Vikram Vuppala, Founder and CEO of NephroPlus, said, “This expansion aligns with our ambitious global growth roadmap.

We aim to scale our proven dialysis care model, which integrates innovation, operational excellence, and compassionate patient care to transform outcomes.”

The country’s dialysis market is valued at approximately $200 million, highlighting the need for improved care infrastructure. NephroPlus’s expansion aims to meet this growing demand while enhancing accessibility for patients requiring regular dialysis.
