NEWS FLASH

A high salt diet can lead to high blood pressure. High blood pressure can in turn increase the risk of serious diseases such as kidney failure, heart disease and stroke.

The NKF is a charitable organisation that provides dialysis treatment and rehabilitative 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.

CIRCLE OF HEARTS

NKF Circle of Hearts, launched on June 26, 2007, is the first volunteer programme of the new NKF. It is one of its initiatives to inspire kidney patients to rise above their adversities so that they can lead a reasonable quality of life. By including various volunteering activities as part of the patients’ healing process, the new NKF hopes to help them cope better with their long-term illness.
