Name of this Article: The Bangalore Kidney Foundation-Serving The
Poor
Add your (cut & paste) opinions/ comments/: The Bangalore Kidney
Foundation was established in 1979 as a charitable institution.The
Foundation is being managed by non-medical professionals devoted
to the cause of serving the poor and the economically backward.The
Foundation has many firsts to it's credit.It was instrumental in
bringing Legislation on Organ Transplant.The Foundation has a State-of-the
Art Center in Bangalore providing affordable treatment on kidney
ailments to the poor.The Foundation has introduced a novel program
where ONE FREE DIALYSIS A DAY is administered at three centers in
Bangalore.The Foundation not only donates Dialysis machines to such
hospitals acting as Free Dialysis centers,but also finances dialysis
treatment.
These and other noble services like the building of a Kidney Patients
Home in Bangalore are worth knowing especially for the NRIs living
overseas.The Kidney Patients Home will provide accomodation to the
attenders/relatives of kidney patients.At present,such stay expenses
has been ruining several families of kidney patients.The stay will
be free.The Sringeri Mutt has kindly donated free land in Bangalore
in it's Mutt premises for this Home.Also coming up at this site
is a 100 beds Speciality Centre where dialysis will be available
for the poor.It must be informed that the Bangalore Kidney Foundation
has been able to get generous support from some overseas hospital.We
have recently received as a Gift-14 Dialysis Machines from USA.These
machines are slightly used but could provide the much needed boost
to our programme.
All these programmes would not have been possible but for the generous
support we have been getting from the corporate houses individuals,etc..We
would like to appeal to the NRIs to chip in generously in kind and
in cheques,cash,etc...The Foundation has all the clearances like
FCNR,80G,etc......
Yours Cordially
