New Technology: Robo-Kidney by Byonyks
Pakistan’s first locally made “artificial kidney” for home use, called Robo-Kidney (APD), is a major innovation by Byonyks. This bloodless, needle-free peritoneal dialysis system:
- Works without removing blood from the body
- Reduces infection risks (hepatitis C, etc.)
- Uses 97% less water than traditional machines
- Is registered with DRAP and prepared for mass rollout
- Targets affordability with a price under ₨2 million
While not yet fully commercialized, Byonyks has entered production and patient testing stages.
Dialysis Costs in Hospitals
As of 2025, dialysis costs have increased due to inflation and the high price of imported equipment and consumables. Patients undergoing dialysis three times a week now spend ₨66,000–72,600 per month. Most of the hemodialysis machines and components are imported, contributing to the rising cost burden.
Free & Subsidized Dialysis in Pakistan
Several hospitals and foundations provide dialysis services free or at a subsidized rate:
- SIUT (Sindh Institute of Urology & Transplantation) – Offers completely free dialysis and kidney transplants.
- Bilqees Sarwar Foundation (Lahore) – Treats thousands of patients monthly without charge.
- Al-Mustafa Welfare Society – Provides dialysis at subsidized costs around ₨30,000/month.
These services are vital for low-income patients who cannot afford private treatment.
