Our Mission
To provide regular dialysis with total dialysis care to all patients at affordable charges, create awareness on kidney diseases at every opportunity, and to focus on kidney disease prevention in young adults by conducting screening camps in schools and colleges.
Why Dialysis :
About two million people have critical kidney disease and require either dialysis or a kidney transplant. Due to lack of access to dialysis and due to economic reasons, only 10-12% undergo dialysis. The urban poor have access but are unable to undergo regular dialysis for economic conditions. BKF ensures regular dialysis by a combination of affordable charge/free/subsidised dialysis. Beyond dialysis, BKF ensures nutrition, medication, diagnostic tests to patients. In the absence of a kidney transplant, regular dialysis is an alternative to enable the patient to lead a useful life.
