This Year of the Rabbit, the Kidney Dialysis Foundation (KDF) Fundraising Committee is proud to introduce the KDF 2023 charity icon "Fortune Rabbit".
In the early 90s, despite living in times of affluence, kidney patients like Mdm Goh were not uncommon. There were no programmes to treat the very poor then. Once diagnosed, many kidney patients were at a loss as to where to seek affordable treatment. Many chose to die simply because they could not afford dialysis.
While the World Health Organization recommends that adults consume less than 5g (just under one teaspoon) of salt a day, nine in ten Singaporeans consume double that amount every day. Excessive consumption of salt can increase the risk of high blood pressure.
Back in action since the COVID-19 pandemic, the KDF Millennium Ride (MRide) 2022 saw 50 dedicated volunteer cyclists clocking an impressive 1,000 km on wheels to raise funds and awareness for underprivileged kidney patients of KDF.
A new dialysis centre in Sembawang offers kidney patients more than just a shorter trip to get their regular treatments.
