Accessing dialysis centers in Yemen is one of the biggest challenges patients face, especially in remote areas. Additionally, the cost of medications accompanying the sessions is often a burden that the patient and their family cannot bear.
Through the Patient Assistance program, the National Kidney Foundation provides free or subsidized transportation for patients living far from centers, in addition to providing essential medication packages needed before, during, and after dialysis sessions.
Not just medicine and transport, but compassionate care
We believe that treatment is not just about medications. Therefore, our program also includes psychosocial support initiatives, where we provide listening and guidance sessions for patients suffering from depression or anxiety caused by chronic illness.
- Providing ambulances and transport services for patient transfers.
- Distributing essential medications (Iron, Calcium, Phosphate binders).
- Group and individual psychological support sessions.
"Patient care doesn't end at the clinic door. Compassionate assistance is what gives patients hope and strength to continue."
