VISION STATEMENT We shall be a premier philanthropic Institution for renal and renal-related diseases. MISSION STATEMENT We will provide welfare assistance to those in need thereby ensuring that no one is denied treatment simply because they cannot afford it. We will be a regional centre of excellence in health ca The Kidney Centre was once merely a dream of a few dedicated individuals in 1985, today by the Grace of God and with the help of generous individuals and corporations, the Kidney Centre continues to grow and fulfil that dream.

It also serves as an excellent teaching, research and educational institution for nephrology, urology and related fields.
