» Vice President of ANGKASA, Mohamad Azmi Omaruddin talks to a patient who receives treatment with the help of a state of the art dialysis machine.
In the near future, ANGKASA plans to increase the number of dialysis machines at both of these dialysis centres to 12 (Pahang) and 15 machines (Kedah) as well as looking to open another three new dialysis centres in the country. Through infaq* funds managed by ANGKASA’s Syariah Management and Development Division, more than 20 dialysis machines have been donated by ANGKASA to clinics, kidney foundation, government- owned hospitals and coop-owned dialysis centres. ANGKASA also has helped to cover the cost of treatment for kidney disease patients since 2015.
ANGKASA will continue to assist co-operatives that are keen to venture into dialysis treatment as one of the co-operative business arm. * Infaq is the Arabic word for “spending.” It is a type of charity in Islam that is given without any expectation of reward or return. One gives Infaq for the betterment of society, their family and to please God. (Source: Zakat Foundation of America).
