00:30In six places in the districts, under NTR medical services,
00:33the government is administering dialysis to patients in Kemsa Savera and Snehalatha hospitals.
00:39Patients come to these centres from nine districts.
00:42According to the severity of the disease,
00:44the doctors recommend dialysis many times a week.
00:49In the past, the government gave orders to transport patients from their villages to dialysis in 108 vehicles.
00:56After dialysis, the patients used to return to their villages with their own expenses.
01:01But in VICP Hayam, the government of Kottami,
01:05which is known to have been influenced by the Arabindo Medical Trust,
01:10has temporarily removed that institution from its responsibilities.
01:13With this, patients who go to the hospital for a month due to kidney problems
01:17have been stopped from travelling in vehicles.
01:20Dialysis patients are being stopped from taking patients to the hospital due to insufficient pension.
01:51We get Rs. 2000 daily.
01:54We get Rs. 3000 a week.
01:57We get Rs. 10,000 a week.
02:04We don't have enough money.
02:06It's been 25 days since the ambulance arrived.
02:10We spoke to the auto drivers.
02:12We asked them for Rs. 600 or Rs. 1000.
02:16We tried to convince the driver.
02:20But he refused to come.
02:22He said that he was in pain.
02:26He said that he was in pain.
02:28Some people say that they get Rs. 10,000 a week.
02:31We get Rs. 10,000 a week.
02:33But we don't get anything.
02:35Dialysis patients are very slow.
02:39They don't even come to the auto shop.
02:43If we get an ambulance, it will be very difficult for the patients.
02:47It will be very difficult for the patients.
02:50It will be very difficult for us to take care of them.
02:55But we are coming.
02:57There are about 1000 kidney patients in Anantapuram, Sri Sathya Sai district.
03:02Some of them have to undergo dialysis four times a week.
03:06Every patient is given time in the dialysis centre.
03:09According to that time, the centre should be ready.
03:12Dialysis takes three to four hours for each patient.
03:16Patients have to go to the hospital for 108 days.
03:22Auto drivers are not allowing patients to go to the hospital.
03:27Some auto drivers are demanding Rs. 1000.
03:31In such a situation, the patients' relatives are giving whatever they can.
03:36We didn't get anything.
03:38It was very difficult for us.
03:40We used to come home and get the medicines.
03:43Now it is very difficult for us.
03:45It will be good if we get an ambulance.
03:48My husband has been taking treatment for eight months.
03:52We have to travel 300 kms to get to the hospital.
03:56We come twice a week.
04:00The charges are Rs. 1500 per week.
04:03It is very difficult for us without an ambulance.
04:08We can't go to the hospital.
04:11If we get an ambulance, we can get oxygen.
04:16We will be fine for a while.
04:18We will be fine until we come here.
04:21It is very difficult for us without an ambulance.
04:24It is very difficult for us to go to the hospital.
04:28We want a government ambulance.
04:33It has been seven months.
04:35It has been seven months since we got an ambulance.
04:38It has been 20 days since we got an ambulance.
04:41It is very difficult for my husband.
04:43If we get Rs. 10,000 for medicines and injections,
04:46what will happen to us?
04:48The situation at home is very bad.
04:50We want an ambulance to come.
04:53If we get medicines and injections,
04:56it will be very difficult for us.
