DCDC Health Services secures Rs. 82 crore from British International Investment

Dialysis clinic operator DCDC Health Services Pvt Ltd has raised Rs 82 crore in funding from British International Investment (BII), the UK's development finance institution and impact investor. 

DCDC is an operator of dialysis clinics under a public-private partnership (PPP) arrangement with state governments, providing treatments to economically weaker sections of the population.

The startup plans to use the raised capital to deliver essential dialysis treatments to low-income individuals suffering from End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).

Expanding to underserved regions

DCDC Health Services aims to use the funds to set up over 100 new centres equipped with 900 dialysis machines in the next three years.

The expansion will cater to more than 15,000 patients, primarily from economically weaker sections, and create approximately 1,000 jobs.

The startup currently operates over 190 clinics across India, including standalone facilities, public-private partnerships (PPP), and hospital-based centres. 

“We are excited to partner with BII and expand access to high-quality and affordable dialysis treatments. Through this investment, we will continue to expand our centres in South India, particularly in Karnataka and Telangana,” said Aseem Garg, Founder and CEO of DCDC.

“Improving inclusion for economically disadvantaged groups, including access to quality, affordable healthcare, is a key priority for BII in India. Our debt facility will enable DCDC to expand its network of centres in partnership with the government, which provides life-saving treatment to low-income people in remote towns,” said Srini Nagarajan, Managing Director and Head of Asia for BII.
