OUR MISSION
The primary mission of HACF is to provide assistance to patients in Sudan who are affected by kidney (renal) problems. This mission is achieved through the establishment of the HACF Kidney Center and other relevant initiatives. Kidney issues are highly prevalent in Sudan, and the overall quality of kidney care remains suboptimal due to various factors, including financial constraints and shortcomings within the healthcare system.
Presently, there are a minimum of 6,000 patients diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who require dialysis for their survival. It is important to note that due to the absence of accurate statistics, the actual number of affected individuals is likely to far surpass this figure of 6,000.
Regrettably, there is a significant waiting period of at least two months to secure a dialysis chair in the capital city, Khartoum, while the waiting time in other cities is even longer. Tragically, many patients succumb to complications associated with renal failure during this waiting period. The exact number of patients affected by acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unknown, but it is anticipated to be alarmingly high. Financial constraints contribute to suboptimal care and poor follow-up, resulting in many AKI patients who initially require temporary renal replacement therapy, such as dialysis, transitioning to permanent dialysis.
To provide practical assistance to a substantial number of these patients, HACF is currently constructing a charitable kidney center known as the HACF Kidney Center. The completion of the center will be carried out in three phases, depending on the availability of funds. Phase I will accommodate 30 dialysis chairs, enabling the provision of care to 275 ESRD patients. Phase II will expand the center to accommodate 60-100 dialysis chairs, facilitating care for 550-925 patients with AKI and ESRD. Phase III will entail the establishment of a specialized charity medical center dedicated to kidney diseases and transplantation. It is worth highlighting that the founder of HACF is a nephrologist (a kidney doctor) practicing in the USA, and HACF will collaborate with Sudanese nephrologists worldwide to fulfill its mission.
