Hand-in-Hand Dialysis Aid Program
About
The plight of underprivileged families rarely receives the same amount of attention or exposure from the media and internet as they hardly have access to these channels to highlight their predicament. Therefore, we reach out to this target group by allocating funds and resources to mitigate their burden in seeking healthcare on dialysis treatment.
Need
Many are not aware of the difficult physical and emotional battle kidney patients in Malaysia face, and the financial challenges they encounter. Going for treatments 3 times a week can bring their treatment costs up to USD820/month, with the average income of the population at only USD688/month. This has caused financial difficulties for the low-income patient. Some patients even refuse treatment because they do not want to be a financial burden to their families. This leads to a certain death.
Long term impact
This program will ensure that quality dialysis healthcare remains within reach for the 40 families , where they can continue to be alive with the treatment, and thus, be productive towards the community. Assuming each family has an average of 5 individuals in the household, this program will affect the wellbeing of 200 individuals from the fragile underprivileged background.
