|The New Indian Express Kannur

"This is not just a medical issue. It's a public health crisis in the making," warns T T Basheer, chairman of the Pratheeksha Organ Recipients Family Association (PORFA) charitable trust. "The cost of dialysis sessions is rising because hospitals are forced to implement additional precautions to prevent blood-borne infections, including HBV."
