PATIENT ADOPTION SHEME
COVID-19 hits marginalized hardest; inequity grows with unemployment, health challenges. Dialysis patients' financial strain worsens. Urgent solidarity needed amid falling donations.
Since the onslaught of the Covid 19 pandemic, it had destroyed many economies and also the social fabric of most countries causing untold miseries, hardship and mental stress that many people are forced to go through.
The vast majority of the victims of the pandemic in Malaysia and all over the world are the people of the receiving end - the poor and the marginalized and this is the greatest injustice of the world today. It is often the poor, the deprived and the marginalized who would suffer most in any conflict or crisis. The economic fallout had ripped into the working class of society from the middle to the lower income group. The poor become poorer.
With unemployment and Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) skyrocketing, thus, leading to long term complications like kidney disease, this leads to Haemodialysis Treatment and it is an expensive procedure.
Dialysis patients have to go through this procedure three times a week and some chronic patients require expensive medication and this call for subsidy / cost.
Undoubtedly, the problem is not that so many people are wealthy, the problem is that so many people are so poor in the land of the wealthy - this calls for us to be in solidarity with the unfortunate and the deprived
During the recent pandemic crisis that lasted a couple of years the inflow of donations was constricted to a trickle. We face the ever-increasing challenge in maintaining the 19 Nos. of HD machines, the rising demand for admission of renal failure patients and not to mention the increase in the price of drugs and essentials for dialysis treatment. Presently we have 37 patients under our tender care where 5 patients are fully subsidized by PKHSA.
Since 2020 we have introduced the PAS, so as to reduce the operational cost but could manage to have two patients adopted.
The adoption cost is RM 1,500.00 per month. Adoption is on a yearly basis.
Since the launching of our website, we hope it will reach some people far and wide who will find in their heart in helping us in this event.
We are exhorted to be persons of love and compassion - to go out of our comfort zones and to reach out to other people and be moved by the cry of the poor and plight of burdened people and address their insecurities.
The ripple effect of compassion, love and positivity can bring people together and contribute to nation building. Done in the right spirit, compassion, love and integrity can really transform lives, build bridges and community of love.
病人领养计划
自新冠疫情爆发以来,许多经济体都受到了毁灭性的打击,社会成本也受到了严重影响。在许多国家,这给许多人带来了无尽的痛苦、困难和心理压力。
马来西亚和世界各地大多数疫情受害者都是弱势群体和贫困人口,这是当今世界上最大的不公平现象。在任何冲突或危机中,通常都是贫困、被剥夺和边缘化的人最为受害。经济的崩溃使社会的工薪阶层、中低收入群体受到严重影响,使穷人变得更加贫困。
随着失业率和非传染性疾病(NCD)激增,肾脏疾病等长期并发症也越来越多,这导致血液透析治疗的需求增加,而这是一种昂贵的治疗方法。
血液透析患者每周必须接受三次治疗,一些慢性病患者需要昂贵的药物,这需要补贴或资助。
毫无疑问,问题不在于有很多富人,而在于有太多人在富裕的土地上生活得如此贫困。这促使我们与不幸和被剥夺的人们团结一致。
在最近持续了几年的疫情危机中,捐款的流入减少到了微乎其微的程度。我们面临着越来越大的挑战,如维持 20 台血透机器的运转、日益增加的肾衰竭患者入院需求,更不用说药物和血液透析治疗所需物品价格的上涨。目前,我们有 37 名患者在我们的关怀下,其中 5 名患者由 PKHSA 全额资助。
自 2020 年以来,我们推出了病人领养计划(PAS),以减少运营成本,但只成功为两名患者找到了赞助人。
一名患者的收养费用是每月 1500 马币。收养是按年计算的。
自从我们网站发布以来,我们希望能够触及更多人,让他们心怀善念,帮助我们渡过难关。
我们被敦促成为充满爱心和同情心的人- 走出舒适区,伸出援手,被穷人的呼声和负担所感动,着眼于解决他们的不安全感。
同情心、爱心和积极性的涟漪效应可以团结人们,有助于国家建设。如果以正确的精神,充满同情心、爱心和正直去做,它们确实能够改变人生、构建友谊和爱的社区。
