Recognizing the urgent need to address this issue, the Na Fai Sub-Regional Administrative Institute has launched a project in 2023 to delay kidney failure.
Prevention and Quality Care
The aim of this project is to raise awareness about the importance of personal health care among patients with chronic kidney disease. It seeks to educate individuals about preventing chronic kidney disease, as well as ways to care for and delay end-stage kidney failure. By providing quality treatment from the early stages of the disease, patients can experience an improved quality of life. Additionally, this proactive approach can help reduce the substantial government costs associated with medical treatments for end-stage renal failure.
Community Involvement
Villagers across the 19 villages in the Na Fai Sub-District who have been affected by kidney disease at various stages are actively participating in this project. Over 70 individuals have already undergone screening and evaluation for symptoms of chronic kidney failure.
