Abstract
Interestingly during this pandemic, medical professionals have been more inclined to emphasize on the biological aspects of disease transmission and prevention for dialysis unit functionality but can misjudge the importance of impaired mental sphere of MHD patients and their caregivers. [2] After completing quarantine period, many dialysis staff and doctors have anxiety to resume duties due to shortage of PPE in many hospital settings. Besides these, as dialysis workforces are distinctly skillful and specialized, it is difficult to substitute them in this pandemic situation. [2] In the COVID 19 context, important hurdles for hemodialysis population include disruption of supply chain of dialysis consumables and imported equipment, logistical issues to reach hemodialysis center after suspension of public transport,[2] and added costs for PPE and COVID 19 test passed on to patients, which increases dialysis cost with reimbursement stress.
