Sibu Kidney Foundation (SKF) can finally stop using a 20-year-old reverse osmosis water treatment system, thanks to new equipment sponsored by Malaysian Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS).
Speaking at a ceremony to present the donation of RM189,464, SKF chairman Temenggong Datuk Vincent Lau said the system was a lifeline for individuals undergoing dialysis.
“This technology ensures that the water used in the dialysis process meets the highest standards of purity, safeguarding the health and well-being of our patients.”
He said that for those undergoing treatment, this represented hope and the promise of a better quality of life.
“It is also testament to our commitment to providing the best possible care for individuals facing the challenges of renal health.
“The significance of clean and contaminant-free water in the dialysis process cannot be overstated, and this system is a critical component in ensuring that,” said Lau.
He said that with the growing number of patients and increasing demand for services, the upgrading of the medical equipment was essential.
The number of SKF in-house patients, he added, had increased from 73 to 83.
SKF, a non-profit organisation, was established in 1993 to provide affordable dialysis treatment to kidney patients.
LDS humanitarian volunteer Sandy Hall said they were happy to sponsor the system for a good cause.
