Led by Prof Yap Hui Kim, Head and Emeritus Consultant, Division of Paediatric Nephrology, Dialysis and Renal Transplantation, Department of Paediatrics, KTP-NUCMI, NUH, the camp offered participants a rare stay-in camp experience equipped to meet their treatment needs with more than 20 doctors, 10 nurses and other health professionals on site.
20-year-old participant-turned-organiser Satya, who requires peritoneal dialysis and has attended the camp for eight years, explained that the camp allowed him to meet others like himself. His father, Mr Anand, said that the camp offered participants the opportunity to learn to live independently, away from their parents.
