Apex foundation Day

A treat to our kidney patients and their families…

Apex Foundation Day was celebrated on the 3rd of February 2013 at the renowned Birla MatooshreeSabhagraha at Marine lines, Mumbai with great enthusiasm. The whole concept of the program was to entertain the patients who are suffering from kidney disease and are on dialysis treatment or have received kidney transplant. An audience of about 1500 including patients, their escorts and the staff of the Apex Kidney Foundation attended the program. The foundation conducted this program free for all the attendees. Also free transport arrangements form various suburbs were made and foods and drinks were provided to all the patients and their families.

All the dialysis technicians and administrative staff and also the doctors of Apex Kidney Care staged dances, skits and songs for the patients. Each dialysis unit of Apex Kidney Care staged a program which was professionally directed giving attention to the smallest detail including costume and choreography.

The highlight of the program was the performance by ShriAnupJalota and his team. He along with his team of musicians and singers enthralled the audience who enjoyed every moment gauged by the overwhelming response. Mr AnupJalota, is one of the leading singers of India particularly renowned for his performances in the Indian musical form of Bhajan and the Urdu form of poetry- Ghazal.He is popularly known as the BhajanSamraat (Emperor of Bhajans).Last year he was awarded the Padmashree (one of the highest civilian awards in India) by the President of India.

Patient education material including books, brochures and CDs was made available for free distribution in stalls.

This occasion gave a great opportunity for the patients and their families to interact with the nephrologists and the dialysis staff and come closer to them. This is so very important in the treatment of patients with chronic diseases requiring lifelong treatment. Apex Kidney Foundation plans to conduct this program every year.
