On the launch of the new NKF Centre
“I am incredibly encouraged by all that has been done at NKF. The compelling stories shared were moving, putting into perspective why the work you do matters so much. Thank you for such an inspiring morning at the launch event. Congratulations once again, and my best wishes to the NKF team.”
Margaret Lee, CEO, Alexandra Hospital
“The future of kidney care is not defined by a single treatment or institution, but by how well we work together to support patients throughout their journey. The launch of the renewed NKF centre embodies that vision, bringing partners together to deliver more seamless, coordinated care that improves outcomes for patients.”
Assoc Prof Yeo See Cheng, Head and Senior Consultant, Department of Renal Medicine, Tan Tock Seng Hospital
“The renewed NKF Centre is a testament to what healthcare partners can achieve through a shared commitment to innovation and patient care. Together, we are creating stronger connections between hospital and community care to better support patients and their families”
Adj Assoc Prof Chua Horng Ruey, Head of Division and Senior Consultant, Division of Nephrology Department of Medicine, National University Hospital
“I attended the opening of the new NKF centre at Kim Keat Road and was blown away by the vocal prowess of the NKF patient choir. I would like to congratulate NKF on the opening of its new centre and the many initiatives it is undertaking to improve the lives of Singaporeans on dialysis and the health of Singapore in general. I am also heartened by the support that NKF is expressing for kidney transplantation, the preferred treatment for end-stage kidney failure.”
Prof Terence Kee, Senior Consultant, Department of Renal Medicine, Singapore General Hospital
On peritoneal diaylsis
“Many patients are initially unsure about managing dialysis at home. With the support of hospital teams and NKF nurses, they gain the confidence to take control of their treatment and make it part of everyday life.”
Assoc Prof Marjorie Foo, Senior Consultant, Department of Renal Medicine, Singapore General Hospital
“With haemodialysis (HD), the needling was painful, and I often needed painkillers. Since switching to peritoneal dialysis, I no longer have that worry. It has also given me the confidence to take charge of my own treatment and care. I now feel more independent and empowered.”

On prevention
“The NKF Kidney Discovery Centre provides our student leaders with a powerful platform to develop empathy, confidence and servant leadership through interactive health education. By serving as student ambassadors, they translate our school values into action, becoming compassionate advocates for wellness within the community.”
Amy Phang, HOD, Character and Citizenship, Education CHIJ Our Lady of Good Counsel
“My visit to the NKF Discovery Centre deepened my understanding of how nutrition plays a vital role in preventing diabetes, hypertension and kidney disease. It inspired me to pursue dietetics and help empower others to protect their health through better nutrition.”
Aden Chiang, Student, Temasek Polytechnic
On dialysis care
“Previously, we had to manually lift and replace heavy acid-concentrate canisters throughout the day. With the Centralised Acid Concentrate Delivery System, that physical burden has been greatly reduced, allowing us to spend more time focusing on what matters most – caring for our patients.”
Francis Palana, Nurse Manager, NKF Dialysis Centre Supported by SUTL Global
“The upgraded dialysis centre is bright, comfortable and welcoming. It gives me peace of mind knowing I’m receiving quality care in a modern environment.”
