The incidence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is on the rise worldwide and it affects all sections of the population. In developing countries like India, where there is no adequate budgetary provision for specialized treatment protocols through existing Government Health Care Systems, many poor CKD sufferers who could otherwise be provided a better quality of life with Renal Replacement therapy in the form of Cadaveric or Living Donor Renal Transplants, are left in a helpless situation.
Rotary Club of Nigdi Pune District 3131 plans to conduct this project with the help of Narmada Kidney Foundation (NKF) of Mumbai. NKF is a 20 year old NGO that aims to help people with kidney disease.
RC Nigdi and NKF aim to render help in the following ways:
•In specific cases where the patient is unable to bear the total surgery costs, partial financial help will be extended.
•Post transplant immunosuppressant medicines' expenses will be partially borne.
•Long-term routine screening after Kidney Transplant to detect abnormalities that may lead to treatment or prevention of complications that might arise.
•Due to immunosuppression the risk of infection is high in these patients. Patients will be given aid for the recommended vaccinations that have to be given at regular intervals to prevent infections. Regular screening for new-onset diabetes in post transplant period, in previously non-diabetic patients.
•Counselling to promote a healthy lifestyle through weight control, exercise and smoking cessation, and to ensure that.
•Awareness camps to educate people and enable early detection and then treatment.
•Programmes to motivate organ donation will be conducted through lectures, films and other media.
This project is scalable, depending upon the amount of money raised. Total budget is estimated to be $ 117750.
