Speaking at the inauguration, Shri Pinarayi Vijayan, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Kerala, said, “Kalyan Jewellers Dialysis Center is a service that will greatly benefit society. This is an example of Kalyan Jewellers' social commitment, a company that has made significant contributions to the economic and industrial development of the region. Kidney-related diseases are on the rise today, and there are many dialysis patients in the state. Dialysis treatment is expensive, and this center will become a great support for those who struggle to afford it,” the Chief Minister said.

This inauguration marks a significant step in the Kalyan Jewellers Foundation’s ongoing commitment to creating meaningful social impact and supporting community wellbeing. Developed with a total investment of approximately ₹12.5 crore, the centre is equipped with 14 dialysis machines and provides free dialysis treatment and doctor consultations to economically disadvantaged patients identified through a structured screening process. Operating two shifts a day, six days a week, the facility can conduct around 700 dialysis sessions each month. In the second phase, the centre is expected to expand its capacity to approximately 1,000 sessions per month, further extending its reach to those in need.
