Maryland and the Johns Hopkins Univer-

The Commission aids in the gathering
and dissemination of information on the
treatment of chronic renal disease in the
State. It also sets physical and medical
standards for the operation of dialysis and
renal transplantation centers, and sets stand-
ards for the acceptance of a patient into the
treatment phase of the program. The Com-
mission also institutes and supervises edu-
cational programs on the subject of kidney
disease and its treatment and prevention for

Patients accepted into the treatment phase
of the program will be eligible for State
medical assistance. The Commission may

informational purposes, whether or not such
programs and groups are governmental. The
Commission is to evaluate the entire kidney
disease program annually and report such
evaluation to the Governor (Code 1957,
