Program Description
MESCO provides aid to patients suffering from kidney disease in the form of dialysis. MESCO does not recommend or enroll patients in any specific clinic or hospital for treatment but instead asks patients to continue treatment in the dialysis center where they have been taking treatment.
MESCO provides six months continuous treatment to each patient selected. The money is paid directly to the dialysis center in advance, at the beginning of every quarter. Each year in June and December, we invite the patients on a particular date and time and issue token numbers to them. If the number of patients attending the programme is found to be in excess of budgeted numbers, then we draw a lottery in their presence and issue the Application Forms to those selected. Patients are advised to submit the forms within a stipulated time with requisite documents.
Field officers visit their homes to verify the details and subsequently applications are selected or rejected by a Committee authorized to do so. Selected patients are supported for a period of six months following the month of application.
