Iron Subsidy Program
The Iron Outreach Program is one of DaVita Malaysia’s CSR initiatives to help underprivileged patients. DaVita Malaysia’s Iron Outreach Program aims to provide financial support for those patients that need financial aids to purchase iron injection. A total number of 287 patients successfully completed the Iron Outreach Program last year from November 2020 to January 2021. Up to 10 doses of intravenous iron injection was administered for those patients with Haemoglobin (Hb) less than 10g/dL and TSAT below 30%. Our Iron Outreach Program shows that intravenous iron intake can improve TSAT and Hb levels.
DaVita is a leading kidney care provider in Malaysia. We strive to continuously improve our service and also patient experience. We are committed to ensuring that the best care and quality services are delivered to our patients, and we uphold the best medical practices for better clinical outcome. We believe this initiative will be beneficial to many of our patients who are financially challenged, especially in these pandemic of COVID-19 in which many of them have lost their source of income and are unable to afford dialysis.
