Mission Statement
The Kidney Dialysis Foundation (KDF) is an independent non-profit organisation in Singapore which provides subsidised dialysis treatment to needy members of the community. We support those whose income falls into the lowest 10% of the income bracket in Singapore, ensuring that this vulnerable group of patients will not be deprived of treatment as a result of their financial situation. We currently run four haemodialysis centres (at Admiralty Link, Bishan, Chinatown and Ghim Moh) serving about 300 patients annually. At least $5 million is needed yearly to continue KDF's life-saving mission. KDF is also approved as an institution of a Public Charter (IPC) in Singapore.

KDF is also approved as an institution of a Public Charter (IPC) in Singapore. ------------------------[Our Programmes] ----------------------- KDF's main focus is on providing subsidised dialysis treatment and medication to needy patients. About 80% of our annual spending is used for this purpose. Patient out-of-pocket fees are calculated based on what they can afford and based on their household income. For those unable to afford their portion of the co-payment after KDF subsidy, they are placed under the Adopt-A-Patient Programme, where their payment is further subsidised. In some case, patients need not pay a single cent. We also provide transport subsidies to patients with mobility issues to ensure that they can commute safely between their residences and our dialysis centre. For patients, we conduct patient orientations for new admissions and have periodic dialysis reviews and dietetic counseling for all the patients under our care. We also organise twice yearly patient education seminars and patient outings for our patients.
