More than a year, after the National Kidney Foundation scandal
rocked the charity sector, Singapores largest charity has proved
that its on the mend.
In its progress report for this year, NKF reported a net surplus as
of September 2006 was $13.8 million.
The charity said its patients will pay less for dialysis
treatments.
This is due to a cut in dialysis
cost from $150 to $140 per session.
=> How much was the dialysis
across the causeway? RM40?
So, more than three quarters of dialysis patients will pay about 12
per cent less in the dialysis co-payment scheme.
NKF has also seen more patients after it opened a new Dialysis
Centre in Woodlands. As of this month, NKF has 2,139 patients, up
from 1,937 patients for the same period last year.
It plans to open up two more dialysis centres in Ang Mo Kio and
Hougang next year
A total of S$4.2 million was
saved after manpower costs were cut by half.
=> In other words, the
reserve is still growing at an astounding
rate!
The number of lifedrops donors is steady at around 200,000. Before
the NKF saga, the number of lifedrop donors was around
260,000.
