About Us

NKF’s Patient Safety and Comfort Improvement Team received the Best Team Award (Patient Experience Improvement Award) at the Singapore Health Quality Service Awards 2025. NKF also received 109 Silver Awards, 34 Gold Awards and 2 Star Awards.

With patients’ safety and comfort as priority, NKF introduced an innovative approach to improve overnight dialysis. While the treatment is gentler on the body, involuntary sleep movements often result in pain and complications. To address these issues, NKF pioneered the use of flexible plastic cannulas to reduce blood vessel damage risk and allow more comfortable movement. 63% of patients reported less pain, 85% felt less anxious about moving, and 93% agreed on improved safety. NKF continues to remain deeply commitment towards continuous innovation and improvement to provide higher quality care for the ones we serve.

NKF received the National Safety and Security Watch Group Award in recognition of our collaboration with the Singapore Police Force and Singapore Civil Defence Force in enhancing workplace safety and security. Over the years, we have worked closely with the authorities on initiatives to enhance safety and security, including conducting safety talks and fire drills for our staff and tenants, share anti-scam awareness videos with our patients and ensuring our safety and security practices are up-to-date.

NKF received the Charity Transparency Dedication Award 2024. The award recognises charities that have good disclosure practices, while the Dedication Award category further represents NKF’s deep commitment towards upholding accountability and transparency. With the trust and confidence that we receive, NKF will continue to pursue and uphold the highest standards of patient care, while focusing on preventive efforts to stem the rise of kidney failure cases.
