Dialysis subsidy drying up


KUALA LUMPUR: Thousands of kidney patients are facing a tough time as the Health Ministry has not approved subsidies for haemodialysis treatment thus far this year. Some are reported to have waited for as long as three years for the nod.

The number of approvals for the RM600 monthly subsidy began to decrease in 2011, and became minimal from mid-2012.
