The Program has been implemented in all the 36 States/UTs in 641 districts at 1350 dialysis centres by deploying 8871 haemodialysis machines as on 31^st December 2022. Government of India has issued suitable directions to the states/UTs to expand coverage of PMNDP in all the districts of the country. Under PMNDP, 1350 dialysis centers have been established in the country.
