Case study on a non-profitable organisation.

I am doing a case study on NKF or National Kidney Foundation.

It organise cost-effective and comprehensive education and health-screening programmes against kidney-related disease for the community. They also provide dialysis treatment for the patients. Currently I am not involved in the activities that they have organised, but I will gladly help out if I have a chance. More over, my grandmother is also a dialysis patient, and I found out that some of activities, they need a lot of manpower as mostly of the patients are old and need a lot of attention and care.

Immediate needs that I can think of now to help this organisation is something that can help this dialysis patients after their treatment. From my own experience with my grandmother, usually after a dialysis treatment, the patient will feel very giddy and if there is no one beside them to hold them, they may fall. As for my grandmother she was accompanied by my grandfather so there is no much of worry but what if there is other patient who have no accompany or they need to use the toilet and no one is helping them.

Another need that I can think of is when patients have to eat their medication. This will not only apply for the dialysis patients but for others too. Right now the pharmacy are selling a box which have compartments for different timing for the day like M for morning. A for afternoon and N for night. But my concern need here is what if the patient has poor eyesight, especially for aged people.

there you go.. the case study on NKF. I hope its fine. :)
