DAE Kalpakkam – Chennaionline

Apollo Dialysis Clinics, in collaboration with the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), successfully conducted a Continuing Medical Education (CME) programme at DAE Kalpakkam to raise awareness and share knowledge on kidney care and dialysis-related issues among the fraternity. CME programmes are designed to keep doctors and healthcare professionals up to date with the latest medical practices. This session focused on key aspects of kidney health and was attended by over 40 medical professionals, including general physicians and specialists. The platform served as a learning forum and helped in building awareness around managing kidney diseases more effectively. The event began with a welcome address by Dr. Mathew P. Alex, Consultant/SAG, and Dr. Meena Nair, Medical Superintendent. Two experienced nephrologists from Apollo Dialysis led the clinical sessions as below: • Dr. Venkatesh Rajkumar spoke on “Incidentally Detected High Creatinine – How to Proceed?” and shared crucial steps for early diagnosis and proper management of kidney function issues. • Dr. Shakti Ram delivered a session on “Dialysis Related Complications and their management,” offering practical tips on handling challenges during dialysis and ensuring patient safety. The session also included introductions by Dr. Sreedevi, Consultant/SOF, and ended with a vote of thanks from Dr. Shoba Ranganathan, Consultant/SAG. Mr. Sudhakara Rao, Chief Operating Officer, Apollo Dialysis Clinics, stated:“CME initiatives like these reflect our ongoing commitment to provide quality kidney care. By engaging with frontline medical teams through scientific dialogue, we aim to build stronger, evidence-based treatment frameworks for dialysis patients. At Apollo Dialysis Clinics, we believe that continuous medical education is not optional—it’s essential to deliver better patient outcomes, especially in a high-need specialty like nephrology.”
