BJGMC performs state’s first CAPD

In a historic medical feat, BJ Government Medical College (BJGMC) and Sassoon General Hospital have successfully performed continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) for the first time in the institute's history — and notably, the first such procedure ever conducted in any government medical college across Maharashtra.

The lifesaving dialysis was performed on a 34-year-old woman, a mother of three, suffering from end-stage renal disease (ESRD). After being denied treatment by multiple hospitals, including leading centres in Delhi, she arrived at Sassoon General Hospital in a critical condition with severe renal failure and fluid overload.
