The story of the NKF began in the 1960s when Dr Khoo Oon Teik witnessed the plight of kidney patients, including his own brother who died from this disease. At that time, about 200 Singaporeans died each year from kidney failure. As a nephrologist, Dr Khoo was determined to set up a National Kidney Foundation to help needy kidney patients. The NKF was inaugurated on 7th of April 1969, on World Health Day. The NKF's objective was to render services to kidney patients, encourage and promote renal research, as well as carrying out public education programmes on kidney diseases. 〔http://www.nkfs.org/our-history.html〕 ==Current management== Current board of directors (as of April 2015) * Mr Koh Poh Tiong (Chairman) * Mr Edmund Kwok (CEO) * Dr Abdul Razakjr Bin Omar * Dr Chong Yoke Sin * Mr Kenneth Choo Tay Sian * Mr Johnny Heng * Ms Lee Huay Leng * Mr Bennett Neo * Mr Soon Hong Teck * Professor A.Vathsala * Dr William Wan Kok Tang * Mr Lawrence Wong Liang Ying 〔http://www.nkfs.org/board-of-directors.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Kidney Foundation Singapore」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
