The idea of having a $10 cheap hemodialysis may become a reality sooner than later

I have posted on another favorite blog.  CheapCures the model of Dr. David Shetty's Narayana Hosptial in India where they have a $10.00 hemodialyis (about P500.00) compared to about P2,500 or  $50.00 Why and how can they do it.  I have talked to Dr Tuazon trying to convince him to maybe start studying and implementing this.

I have discussed this on various occasions with other Professors at Strama defense.  A fellow lady professor is undergoing hemodialysis and it costs her more than $1,200 per month.  It is difficult to be in that situation even if you have money;  as you get weaker, your income generating activity becomes less, and you are inclined to sell your assets or pass the hemodialysis and just die.  The ballooning health care costs catering to the rich and famous are getting heights astronomical.  If you are poor, you cant see a doctor, and just die.  Pitiful.
