Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	Dialysis for end stage renal failure represents a huge burden on society and healthcare budget. Transplantation offers a better quality of life for patients with end stage renal failure and a better chance of being productive and keeping a job. Also it offers longer survival in comparison to dialysis. It is estimated that each dialysis patient costs around $25-30.000 US dollars per year. The course of kidney transplantation is estimated at around $25,000 dollars for the first year and then $3-5,000 dollars per year afterwards. Kidney transplantation is the best treatment option for patients with end stage renal failure. Literature evidence indicates that kidney transplantation offers a better quality of life compared to dialysis and prolonged survival. Also

it is established that kidney transplantation is the most cost effective modality of treatment of kidney failure. The number of patients who are on dialysis in Gaza are around 350 patients. Currently patients who require kidney transplantation have to travel abroad to have the procedure performed with an estimated cost of around $25,000 US dollars per patient. For most patients in Gaza that is not a viable option. With the Gaza population of 2 million plus it is estimated that the need for kidney transplantation is around 75 transplants per year.
