Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The National Kidney Foundation Singapore (NKFS) is a Singapore-based foundation running kidney dialysis and prevention programmes. It is fully supported by charity donations.NKFS was established in 1969 by Dr Khoo Oon Teik, a nephrologist, and a group of individuals successfully established Singapore's first dialysis unit at the Singapore General Hospital. The late Yusof bin Ishak, the first President of Singapore and Patron of the Foundation, officially inaugurated the NKFS in Singapore on April 7, the World Health Day.In July 2005, a scandal involving the charity broke out following the collapse of a defamation trial which it brought against Susan Long and Singapore Press Holdings (SPH). This caused a massive backlash and fallout of donors to the charity, and subsequently resulted in the resignation of Chief Executive Officer T.T Durai and its board of directors.Allegations surrounding the scandal included the false declarations on how long NKF's reserves could last, its number of patients, installation of a golden tap in Durai's private office suite, his salary, use of company cars and first-class air travel.
