NKF steps up push for home-based peritoneal dialysis amid rising kidney failure cases

March 31, 2026


"NKF has expanded its efforts over the past two years to help patients take up PD. These include training staff at nursing homes such as Man Fut Tong and Singapore Christian Home to support PD residents."


  • NKF is launching a three-year initiative with four hospitals to promote home-based peritoneal dialysis (PD) due to low awareness.
  • A $3 million fund will support 300 patients in adopting PD, aiming to increase PD uptake.
  • NKF is also enhancing kidney disease prevention through screenings and a revamped Kidney Discovery Centre, addressing the silent progression of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
