1. Which Indian state has announced free dialysis services for chronic kidney patients in all government hospitals?
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has fulfilled his first poll promise by announcing free dialysis services for chronic kidney patients in all government hospitals. This decision aims to alleviate the financial burden on patients, who typically incur monthly costs between ₹20,000 to ₹25,000. The Haryana government will bear these expenses, demonstrating its commitment to empowering marginalized communities and improving healthcare ¹. This move is part of Saini's broader development agenda, which includes initiatives like paddy procurement, job creation, and implementing reservation policies.
