Objectives of the association

Prince Fahad Bin Salman Charity Association for Renal Failure Patients Care (Kellana) aims to provide services that support the needs of renal failure patients in various service aspects, such as contributing to the provision of devices, medications, and medical supplies for renal failure patients who suffer from a lack of services due to financial reasons. It also supports scientific research and awareness programs related to kidney diseases and transplantation. The association also sponsors organ donation programs to keep up with the rapid increase in the need for continuous care for renal failure patients by involving private sector capabilities to complement the primary role of the public sector.

These memorandums stipulate support for the educational aspect by admitting a number of renal failure patients, kidney transplant recipients, donors, and those referred by the association into university departments and branches suited for their conditions. On the administrative side, the association is concerned with providing training and employment support for renal failure patients, kidney transplant recipients, donors, and their families through the employment program.
