New Dialysis Centre Gives Life & Hope

Yishun residents and grassroots leaders celebrated the official opening of the Le Champ-NKF Dialysis Centre on 17 January 2016. Located at Blk 639 Yishun Street 61, the Centre started operations last year and is named after electronics supplier Le Champ (South East Asia), which donated $2.1 million. It has 20 dialysis stations which can serve up to 120 needy patients.

“Now, I need not travel so far for dialysis. I can just walk to the new dialysis centre. It saves me a lot of time and transport fees every month, and I am also less tired after each dialysis session.”
Mr Tan Saa Tee, who previously had to travel to Ang Mo Kio for thrice weekly dialysis
“I encourage more healthcare organisations and agencies to work hand-in-hand with the community to serve the healthcare needs of society, especially the needy... All of us in Nee Soon will continue to work closely with NKF to help the less privileged in our community.”
Associate Professor Dr Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim, Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Education & Social and Family Development and MP for Nee Soon GRC
“NKF has done such a wonderful job serving the needy patients. This has inspired us to do our part to sponsor this dialysis centre. Personally, I empathise with the needy patients as I grew up in a tough environment. My siblings and I have been very blessed and it is now our turn to bless others.”
Mr Michael Chng, Director of Le Champ
