The NKF is a charitable organisation that provides dialysis treatment and rehabilitation care to kidney failure patients at affordable, subsidised rates. Our philosophy is to care for our patients holistically, aiming to help patients maintain a reasonable quality of life. The NKF also provides health-screening and public education services to raise the community’s awareness on the importance of renal disease prevention.

OUR DIALYSIS PROGRAMME

The NKF’s dialysis programme goes beyond mere kidney dialysis. To help our patients cope better with their illness and lead productive and fulfilling lives, the NKF has instituted a spectrum of rehabilitation programmes.
