Dialysis Olympiad
The first and only Olympics-style games event where dialysis guests compete in various disciplines and win medals.
The NephroPlus Dialysis Olympiad is a one-of-its-kind event hosted exclusively for dialysis guests. Guests from all over the country are invited for a one-day event in a city where they participate in events like Walkathon, Cycling, Basketball, Table Tennis, Badminton, Chess, Carroms, and more. Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals are awarded for each event, and it usually ends with a music competition.
We, at NephroPlus, firmly believe that every person on dialysis can and should lead a normal life. A normal life also includes the ability to undertake some physical activity, even a sport. The Dialysis Olympiad reinforces the belief that dialysis guests can take on physical-endurance activities, excel, and compete in them. It also brings back their âWill to Win,â something many guests lose after being diagnosed with Kidney Failure.
Aashayein
Aashayein is our flagship annual event exclusively for dialysis guests. It is a one-day free, educational-cum-fun event.
The word Aashayein means hope and we believe that it is a very powerful word. It represents light at the end of the tunnel. It represents joy in the middle of despair. It represents the thought that the current misery will end one day.
At Aashayein, guests get to interact with Nephrologists, Urologists, Transplant Surgeons, Vascular Surgeons, Clinical Nutritionists, etc., on topics around kidney disease.
They also get to meet other guests and share notes on coping with kidney disease. There are also a lot of fun games and a whole bunch of free gifts! The best part of the day is usually an elaborate lunch that is prepared in accordance with the dialysis-friendly diet.
Guests are given a bunch of goodies as well with things that are useful for them like pill boxes, bags they can carry to the dialysis units, etc. This one day of uninterrupted entertainment for dialysis guests comes as a refreshing change from an often routine life on dialysis.
