THE NEW NKF...

Today is really a outdoor day for me. Firstly went to Bright Vision Hospital near Hougang for a visit and luncheon, doing a bit of PR with the staff there. Then headed to the launch of the new NKF dialysis centre @ Woodlands. This visit to NKF is one that I have been looking forward to for since last week.
This is the first centre set up by THE NEW NKF after the whole saga... It has special meaning to THE NEW NKF, its management, staff, patients, donors, public and us.
The dialysis centre is spacious and the design is simple yet cosy. Not as elaborate, and it does not have expensive interior designs such as fish tanks.... Even the opening ceremony was kept simple and low-cost. Held at the void deck and simple reception but nice food though. GOH Minister Khaw came to grace the opening. However, there were much emotions and thoughts as we look at the centre and think about how THE NEW NKF has been trying very hard to build back its reputation and bring back old as well as recruit new donors. Good news today is..... Dialysis cost is going down again! Now for one session it's $130 (w/o subsidy) @ NKF... And we hope that there will not be much increment subsequently...
Guess this will be featured in the news today, do look out for my back view! Haha!!!
By the way, NKF is recruiting befrienders. So if you're interested to devote some time to lend a helping hand, please do!
