MALAYSIA has recorded a 100% increase in the number of patients diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) over the past 10 years, with an approximate 7,400 new patients each year requiring regular dialysis.

With this in mind, Eco World Foundation stepped up to help alleviate the ordeal of patients by donating a dialysis machine to MMA Medicare Charitable Foundation.
