Raipur. Kidney patients have been coming to Supebeda in the state for a long time. Kidney unit has been started in Gariaband for the convenience of their treatment, but there is also a need to work on a permanent solution to this problem. For this, whatever research can be done to know the cause of diseases should be done. Along with this, there should be adequate treatment facilities for the patients so that the people of Supebeda can be completely freed from kidney related problems in future.
