The National Kidney Foundation (“NKF”) of Malaysia has launched its research grant programme aimed at supporting research that will improve the health outcomes and quality of life of kidney disease patients. With a maximum of RM40,000 per year for each project, this initiative aims to improve treatments and outcomes for patients, reduce risk factors, and advocate for evidence-based policy development.
“It is important for us to be at the forefront of research and innovation pertaining to the improvement and advancement of treatment and prevention for kidney patients. With 1,700 patients currently under our care through subsidised treatment, we are committed to finding more effective and cost-efficient ways to improve the lives of those affected. Through this grant, there lies the prospect of NKF facilitating the next big breakthrough in kidney health which we’re all very excited for” said Khor Xin Yun, Chief Executive Officer of NKF Malaysia.
