NIKDU is the only Institute for Nephrology & Urology in Bangladesh and provides education, research & treatment facilities for nephrology & urological diseases. It was set up in April 2001 in response to this acute need for the establishment of an institution to treat patients with kidney diseases.

Bangladesh has nearly 20 million people suffering from various kidney and urological problems. Every year 15-20,000 patients develop Acute Renal Failure, 70% of those can be treated by dialysis therapy and further 18-20,000 patients are developing End Stage Renal Diseases.

Thus the demand for the use of NIKDU services has continued to grow over the last 10 years. In addition there is also a need to refresh and upgrade the facilities offered by NIKDU and to benefit from the adoption of the latest technology that is on offer in the market.

Establishment of a 70 station Dialysis Centre within a space of approximately 5000 sq feet that will be provided within the existing institute. It is expected that the private operator will procure, install, upgrade, maintain and operate the facilities and the equipments.
