Pakistan Kidney Centre (PKC)
Providing affordable and quality treatment for kidney diseases in Pakistan
PKC- A Project of PWS
PWS has been providing steadfast support to PKC since April 2015, and this partnership is solidified through a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that outlines their shared commitment to advancing the cause of PKC. The members and trustees of PWS UK make regular visits to PKC and maintain close communication with the PKC team to foster collaboration and cooperation.
Dialysis Service
PKC offers hemodialysis treatment with 20 Fresenius dialysis machines, imported from Germany. The first group of patients was dialyzed on 4th May 2015 and service is well established under the supervision of a consultant nephrologist. Dialysis is now offered in 3 shifts every working day of the week. Every patient needs 2-3 dialysis sessions per week as optimal renal replacement therapy. PKC offers a high standard of infection control and offers a separate dialysis service for patients with Hepatitis B and C carriers with zero sero-convertion rates.
The achievements of PKC:
- Total Dialysis Sessions: 75,000.
You can support PKC in a drive to combat growing epidemic of kidney diseases in Pakistan especially those who deserve the most.

Outpatient Service
PKC offers general medical and specialist (nephrology and urology) clinics for assessment of new patients and ongoing management of current patients. More than 22,00 consultations (30% are offered free and 70% are on subsidised payment) have been offered since May 2015.
Day Care Surgery
Endo-urology – has started since November 2020.
Community Outreach Screening Camps
Since November 2017, PKC has launched a preventative initiative to safeguard the community through a comprehensive screening program. Our dedicated mobile health unit reaches out to remote rural areas, bridging the gap in primary care services. Through these regular camps held every other month, we aim to detect and prevent diseases that contribute to end-stage kidney failure, such as hypertension and diabetes. Our team provides complimentary blood pressure checks, random blood sugar level tests, as well as blood and urine analyses. With over 80 successful camps conducted thus far, we remain committed to preserving the well-being of individuals in underserved regions.
In collaboration with Children of Islamic Nations (COIN) Canada, PKC has expanded screening program to include Anemia and Thalasaemia Screening from 2019. https://www.coincanada.org/present-projects
