KJ: Pre-dialysis education programme to be introduced at all govt health facilities next year

He said the special module would be implemented comprehensively once the Ministry of Health had obtained the best model through data and research.

Khairy said the programme, developed by a group of medical experts, was expected to provide important information to the patients as well as help them choose the appropriate type of treatment. He said the ministry’s evaluation of the programme done abroad in 2020 had found that it was effective in increasing the knowledge of patients and family members, improving kidney transplants and helping patients choose dialysis treatment at home, namely peritoneal dialysis or conservative treatment .

Sharing the latest data from the “Malaysia Dialysis and Transplantation Registry”, Khairy said there were 49,111 kidney patients undergoing dialysis treatment either by haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis."The data also shows that there are currently 4,722 kidney patients waiting for a transplant," he said.
