Located northeast of the island, the Bishan Centre is the first Kidney Dialysis Foundation (KDF) centre to be situated along the MRT line. It is easily accessible to patients living in the north and central parts of Singapore.
To treat the rising number of needy patients, the centre was expanded in February 2003. It now has an upgraded Reverse Osmosis System and a Resource Room for medical training and patient education.
As part of KDF’s effort to reach kidney patients beyond the suburban housing estates of Singapore, the San Wang Wu Ti (SWWT) Centre was set up at Kreta Ayer, the traditional retail hub of Chinatown.

Blk 6 Ghim Moh Road #01-188 Singapore 270006
The Ghim Moh Centre situated in the north-western part of Singapore, was built to replace the KDF – Alexandra Centre whose lease ended in 2005. This Centre was built with a generous donation of $5 million from the Estate of Tan Sri Khoo Teck Puat.
KDF’s first Peritoneal Dialysis Centre previously located in the central district of Singapore, was built with the kind contribution of $130,000 from the Singapore Pools (Pte) Ltd and the Khoo Foundation (now known as the Estate of Tan Sri Khoo Teck Puat). It has since been shifted to Ghim Moh. The centre focuses on educating medical workers, patients as well as their caregivers on Peritoneal Dialysis. Peritoneal Dialysis is currently the main mode of dialysis treatment in the United Kingdom and Hong Kong. The centre has the capacity to serve a maximum of 200 patients.
