The centre has on staff three doctors - one doctor-in-charge and two nephrologists (kidney specialists) - and six nurses and dialysis assistants.

Bhaskaran Velayutham, has been undergoing hemodialysis for over two years and he's ever grateful for the dialysis centre that he goes to, and not just for providing him the treatment he needs to survive.

The 54-year-old has been going for dialysis at the Eagles Dialysis Centre in Subang Jaya, Selangor, where they've helped him to find out his eligibility for state subsidies and even assisted him to apply for them, allowing for his fully-subsidised treatments.
