The Integrated Dialysis Facilities (HK) Ltd is situated in the Champion Building on top of the Jordan MTR (Metro) station. It is the only private Satellite Dialysis Centre in Hong Kong and is also the only dialysis centre with the nephrology clinic in the same floor. The patient safety is enhanced because a nephrologist is easily available to treat any medical problems that may arise. The Champion Building has more than 100 clinics and has clinical laboratory, X-ray and CT facilitates.
The Integrated Dialysis Facilities (HK) Ltd (the ‘Centre’) was found by two local nephrologists in February 1985. The reason for setting up the Centre was that the haemodialysis facilities in Hong Kong were grossly inadequate. Renal patients in the public hospitals have to undergo peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) first. (The ‘PD’ first policy). We think that patients should be given a choice but even up to now, 90% of the public dialysis patients are on peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). They need haemodialysis support for back up if CAPD fails. The renal patients in Hong Kong needed a private dialysis treatment at an affordable cost. It was very successful and many renal patients would otherwise die without our service. It was incorporated in February 1990 as the Integrated Dialysis Facilities (HK) Ltd.
The Centre was registered in August 1998 under the Hong Kong Hospital and Nursing Home Ordinance. It was awarded the Caring Company by the Hong Kong Council of Social Services in 2005.
Our Mission
The Integrated Dialysis Facilities is more than a satellite dialysis centre. It has the following missions:
- Provide haemodialysis and CAPD treatment for local and overseas patients. The dialysis charge in our Centre is about 50% of the private hospital centres.
- Renal Education through Continuing Medical Education (CME) courses for doctors and our CME publications.
- Professional Certificate in Renal Nursing Courses to train renal nurses in Hong Kong in conjunction with the Open University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Baptist Hospital and the Lions Kidney Educational Centre. Up to now, there were 6 intakes and 260 nurses were trained.
- The Kidney classroom website with over 100 kidney and dialysis videos for public education. No registration was required.
- Renal disease prevention through our Community Networks Projects, DASH diet promotion and the Diabetic Kidney Camp.
