WHAT THE NATIONAL KIDNEY FOUNDATION DOES FOR KIDNEY PATIENTS

National Kidney Foundation helps the cause of kidney patients by:

1. Arranging talks, slide/video shows by kidney specialists, for educating the public about kidney diseases, kidney failure and transplantation.
2. Organising 'Renal Disease Detection Camps' at various places for early detection of kidney ailments.
3. Publishing a quarterly "Newsletter" which:
   • Gives information about various aspects of kidney diseases.
   • Publishes letters from patients and their relatives seeking financial help and drugs.
   • Publishes other useful information for the benefit of kidney patients.
   • Informs about activities carried out by NFKI from time to time.
4. Donating dialysis machines to hospital where kidney failure patients can undergo dialysis.
5. Directing patients to other charitable institutions for financial help for treatment, particularly since NFKI on its own in not in a position to give substantial monetary aid to patients.
6. NFKI is all set to launch a 'Cadaver Kidney Transplant Programme' which is one of the main aims of the foundation.
