Dialysis Technologist
Dialysis Technologists set up and operate haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis equipment, monitor patients during treatment sessions, and maintain strict infection-control protocols. In India, the role is in high demand as chronic kidney disease and diabetes rates rise, with opportunities in government hospitals, private nephrology centres, and corporate hospital chains. Technologists work closely with nephrologists and nurses to ensure patient safety throughout each 4-hour dialysis run.
