Care Center for Kidney Patients

Objective
The main goal or purpose of the project is to be a strength and support to kidney patients who are travelling from rural areas to Colombo for medical treatments.
To help kidney patients enjoy a quality life just as a normal living being.
Target Beneficiaries
AS kidney disease is very prevalent in Sri Lanka, there are many patients in rural areas of the country. As they are living in a rural area, proper medical facilities and treatments are unavailable. Therefore, most of these kidney patients will have to travel day and night for medical treatments. Kidney patients from areas such as Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Kurunegala, Matale etc. will have to reach Colombo for special medical investigations and treatments. Some of the kidney patients have economic and several other issues so they sometimes will not afford to have a meal when they come to Colombo. Our association was able to introduce the Care Center project for these kidney patients. Those who cannot travel back and forth for medical treatments will now be able to have a temporary residence free of charge. Care center providing the required medical environment, and attending to their nutritional and sanitation needs, free of charge at our Kidney Patient’s care center located at No. 133/10, 2nd lane, Shanthi Mawatha, Himbutana,
