Baxter International Inc. plans to increase the number of new home dialysis patients it accepts. This decision comes after disruptions caused by Hurricane Helene, which had previously limited enrollment to children and emergency cases.
The company, a major supplier of dialysis fluids, aims to restore new patient starts to pre-hurricane levels by the end of the year. Baxter is taking this step to address the impact of the storm on its operations and meet the growing demand for home dialysis solutions.
The company's commitment to expanding patient access demonstrates its ongoing efforts to support healthcare needs in the face of recent challenges.
