As NKF builds more dialysis centres to cater to the rising number of kidney patients, we aim to locate all patients at a dialysis centre within 5km of their residence as part of our on-going community integration efforts.
Hence, with the establishment of two new dialysis centres in West Coast and Marsiling respectively, patients living in these areas no longer have to travel further away to other dialysis centres for treatment, saving on time travelled and the costs. They are also able to have greater interaction with the grassroots and volunteers in the community they are familiar with, to help them stay active through health and social activities which are important for their rehabilitation.
Currently, 91% of all patients are located within 5km of their dialysis centre. NKF is exploring renal care transformation and integration to also include dialysis centres in polyclinics and community clubs to better support the evolving needs of kidney patients.
