KUCHING, March 6: Sacred Hope Haemodialysis Centre provide effective, quality and affordable haemodialysis treatment.
Kuching South City Council (MBKS) mayor Dato Wee Hong Seng representing Deputy Premier Dato Sri Dr Sim Kui Hian, said Sacred Hope Haemodialysis Centre also pledges to provide personal and professional health awareness consultation as well as counseling services.
“What impresses me, was its inclusivity in accepting patients of all genders and races regardless of religions, beliefs, cultural and social backgrounds. This exemplary and remarkable approach must be applauded and encouraged.
“I was further told, that the centre is adamant in creating a comfortable ambiance for its patients to ease in. It is my fervent hope that such noble pledges are upheld consistently, so that they are made an example for other similar institutions to emulate,” said Dr Sim whose text-of-speech was read out by Wee during the official opening of Sacred Hope Haemodialysis Association Kuching Dialysis Centre in Batu Kawah, today.
Dr Sim noted the centre works closely with Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat (JKM), Social Security Organisation (Perkeso), KWAP (Retirement Fund Inc), Tzu-Chi Foundation, State government agencies, statutory bodies, private organisations and relevant non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in identifying relevant patients in need, and subsequently providing adequate assistance to these patients.
