关于我们

全国肾脏基金会(NKF)致力倡导肾脏健康与社区护理整合工作。在为肾衰竭病人提供优质、一体化的洗肾护疗之际,其更大的使命是预防或延缓肾衰竭。通过推动社区融入和策略伙伴的合作,作出贡献、造福群体。

愿景和使命

守护生命、赋予希望。在爱心社群的鼎力支持下,提供可负担、永续及高素质的洗肾护疗,并教育公众全力预防肾脏病。

目前的肾衰竭概况

新加坡肾衰竭病例的增长速度惊人,一场 “肾衰竭海啸” 正向我们袭来。每天约有6人被诊断肾衰竭,和20年前相比增加至3倍。约50万人患有慢性肾脏病,而由于存在未被诊断的病例,该数字预料会更大。NKF目前约有5,500名洗肾病人,约占新加坡洗肾病人总数的60%。糖尿病依然是引起肾衰竭的主要因素之一,而新加坡的糖尿病患病率是全球最高的国家之一。若糖尿病和其它慢性疾病未受控制,每天被诊断出的肾衰竭病例可能在几十年内达到20起,甚至30起

我们的核心策略

为了制定 NKF 的长期方针,我们的愿景《点亮未来、缔造2030 年》采用了两个引擎的策略 —— 就像任何一架飞机一样,拥有两个引擎的飞机,性能肯定会更好。

一号引擎专注于短期的战略,推动着我们继续努力作为,并把工作做得更上一层楼。

我们希望病人能更自动自发地去管理自己的健康、为自己的健康做出自主和负责任的决定,并更积极地掌握自我护理的能力。我们必须确保病人不管是对于在洗肾中心洗肾,还是在家里自行洗肾都保持着开放的心态。除了训练他们,我们也确保所有的护理人员都受到良好和专业的训练。病人以及他们的家人的心理健康也是我们注重的一方面。为了能长期地履行我们的使命,并同时对我们所有的利益攸关方和你们给予的善心捐款负责任,我们须确保我们的成本结构是可持续的

然而,我们不能单靠一号引擎。我们也需要把重点放在属于中长期战略的二号引擎,以遏制目前令人不安的肾脏病趋势

我们必须侧重于上游的教育和预防措施,通过与社区、学校和医疗保健生态系统中的合作伙伴携手合作,来帮助公众了解健康生活的重要性。我们将社区外展策略的重点放在年轻一代、家庭、年长者和高风险人群,以预防疾病。通过具有成本效益的方式来推动肾脏病治疗方面的创新,以更好地为我们的病人服务是至关重要的。我们可以做到这一点是因为我们拥有所需的病人数据和资料,这让我们得以和社区合作,一起为迈向2030年而做准备。

董事会

董事会以NKF的利益为基准, 确保我们在有效、充分地进行慈善事业之际, 遵循所有适用的法律、规则和条规。 董事会致力确保成员多元化, 在会计、金融、商务和管理、通信、医护、人力资源、法律、医药、策略规划和科技等领域具有核心能力。 董事会确信, 要想有效地发挥作用, 其规模不应过大, 但应要拥有足够的专业知识和不同的观点立场, 同时则需确保性别均衡化和服务的可持续性。董事会成员皆为无薪任职。
