Great news for kidney patients

by specky on March 16, 2009



Kudos to someone who’s thinking right! I was pleasantly surprised when I read a few days ago in the news that the government is going to do something good for kidney patients. Here’s the exerpt:

Poor kidney patients receiving haemodialysis treatment at NGO centres can look forward to a better quality of life. The Government will spend RM12.6mil a year to provide these 2,700 patients with free erythropoeitin (e-poeitin) injections beginning April 1.

For a patient to undergo dialysis treatment, it is a life long thing and that translates to a lot of money that must be spent on such treatments. It’s a wonder how some less than average or even an average income family can afford these regular treatments for their ill family members. So I applaud the government in helping out these patients by offering them free injections.

I’m not sure how this information on this provision will be passed around, but if you know of someone who needs these treatments and how this will help to ease their financial burden, spread the news!
