CSB Bank joined hands with Fairfax India Charitable Foundation to be part of public charitable activities, by donating Rs. 1,81,50,000.00 for providing free/affordable, quality dialysis services to renal patients in various parts of India where the services are limited/non-existent for dialysis infrastructure. Via Project Dialysis, the exorbitant dialysis cost at Rs. 2.4 lakhs per year, which escalates significantly in remote locations due to factors such as transportation of patient, accompanying family member, loss of earning hours etc. is mitigated and the acute demand-supply imbalance regarding dialysis slots is addressed.
