NephroPlus launches NephroPlus International Dialysis Academy

Hyderabad, 10th September 2026: NephroPlus, Asia’s largest dialysis networks, today announced the launch of the NephroPlus International Dialysis Academy (NIDA), a dedicated initiative designed to prepare nursing graduates in India and the Philippines for specialised careers in dialysis care and international deployment.

The first NIDA nodal centre inaugurated today, at NephroPlus’s standalone dialysis centre in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, in the presence of Rohit Singh, Group CEO, NephroPlus. The Academy’s second nodal centre is scheduled to launch in Quezon City, Philippines, in November 2026.

NIDA has been established as a structured pathway for building a specialised, internationally deployable renal-nursing workforce. The programme combines classroom learning, simulation-based training, supervised clinical experience, mentorship, certification support and preparation for international workplace and licensing requirements. On successful completion of the programme, eligible candidates can be considered for deployment within NephroPlus’s international network, subject to the applicable requirements and the service commitment defined at enrolment.

In India, the Fresher Track is a 24-month programme, comprising three months of classroom and simulation-based training followed by 21 months of supervised clinical training across the NephroPlus network. In the Philippines, the programme follows a similar overall timeframe, beginning with two weeks of clinical classroom training followed by supervised on-the-job training across NephroPlus Philippines centres. The curriculum covers renal and dialysis science, clinical management, patient care and global workplace readiness, equipping nurses with the specialised skills required for dialysis care and international careers.

Commenting on the launch, Rohit Singh, Group Chief Executive Officer, NephroPlus, said, "Skilled renal-care manpower is in short supply globally, and NIDA is built to address that gap. Through a structured curriculum of specialised training, hands-on clinical exposure, and coaching in soft skills and language, we are developing renal nurses truly ready for the world. NephroPlus's global reach translates into assured international placement, not just an opportunity on paper"
