MESSAGE FROM CHIEF EDITOR<br />

Happy New Year and welcome to our 1st issue for 2012. The first quarter of the year<br />

has once again been busy for us as we have been planning and preparing for the<br />

“World Kidney Day 2012” celebrations in Malaysia.<br />

This year we had a “World Kidney Day 2012 Run” in Dataran Merdeka on 4<br />

March 2012 followed by a convoy to Johor Baru, Melaka, Seremban,Petaling Jaya and<br />

Kuala Lumpur. The main objective of the convoy was to promote organ<br />

donation and to get members of the public at all these venues to pledge to become an<br />

organ donor. The convoy team distributed freebies at the malls and also distributed organ<br />

donation pledge forms. We will give you more information about our “World Kidney<br />

Day 2012” celebrations in our next issue.<br />

In this issue, we also share with you the many family day gatherings we had<br />

with our patients as well as the Chinese New Year cheer that was brought to our patients<br />

by many good Samaritans.<br />

A special highlight in this issue is the “Thoughtful Gestures Saves Lives”<br />

campaign that was initiated by the staff of <strong>NKF</strong>. All staff of <strong>NKF</strong> agreed to have RM11<br />

deducted from their salary to help our poor patients to defray a portion of their dialysis<br />

bills. A total of RM 2,838 was shared among 11 patients on the<br />

auspicious date: 11 November 2011 (11/11/11).<br />

We are happy to share with you a special article written by our new<br />

Dietician, Ms Syaidatun on “Eating out the Healthier Way”. Here she highlights how to<br />

select and make food choices when eating at “mamak” restaurants. I am sure you will<br />

love the tips!<br />

We also successfully kicked off the 12th batch of Post Basic Haemodialysis<br />

Course with 40 new students. So far 206 students have graduated from the course with<br />

100% passes.<br />

We also take this opportunity to thank each and every donor highlighted in<br />

this issue. You contribution will certainly help us to help Malaysians suffering from end<br />

stage kidney failure, who lack access to or cannot afford dialysis treatment. Currently,<br />

<strong>NKF</strong> has more than 1,450 patients receiving subsidized dialysis treatment in 24 dialysis<br />

centres nationwide.<br />

Happy Reading.<br />

Thank you<br />

Dr Prasad Menon<br />

Chief Editor<br />
