Welcome to Ittefaq Kidney

I am proud of the dialysis services and support that we have been providing for the last 22 years to the poor kidney patients. The support of our society, generous donors, our dedicated team and the help of the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa made it possible. Your support gives us courage and enables us to provide such an expensive treatment free of cost to those patients who sometimes even cannot pay taxi charges to get to the dialysis center. I thank you all for your untiring support. Your help is a ray of hope for the hopeless patients.
