PC1/11 Elective (Community services) part 2

27-28 November 2012,

After completing our volunteer services in SPCA and Zoo Negara, Ampang.
Most of us planned to involve ourselves as a volunteer in fundraising activities for National Kidney Foundation(NKF), Malaysia organised by Asian Medical Students' Association - International Medical University (AMSA-IMU)
Hoon Mun, Su-Xian and I were assigned to work together with IMU medicine students on 27 November 2012.
On 28 November 2012, XuJen, Chieh Hwa, Hoon Mun, Su-Xian and I were assigned to work together.
What is so special about this fundraising event is that every single cent spent will be entirely donated to NKF, which mean every single cent counts ! =)




National Kidney Foundation (NKF) is a charitable organisation where diaylsis is provided. NKF's patients are commonly from the lower income group. Generally, a dialysis treatments cost approximately RM 150- RM 250 at private medical centre. Hence, NKF helps through subsidising the cost of the dialysis treatments to those lower income groups patients that couldn't afford the dialysis treatment, the patients that subsidised by NKF are only required to pay a RM50 nominal fee for each dialysis treatment session.
