NKF chairman Koh Poh Tiong to step down, pass on baton to Singtel CEO Arthur Lang

SINGAPORE - National Kidney Foundation chairman Koh Poh Tiong will step down on Oct 31, after holding the position for eight years.

Under Mr Koh's leadership, NKF has invested in building infrastructure and capacity, increasing the number of community-based dialysis centres from 25 in 2012 to 38 now. Two more are in the pipeline to provide services for kidney patients in need close to their homes. NKF currently serves more than 4,800 kidney patients and beneficiaries.

Mr Koh, formerly the CEO of Fraser & Neave, took over the chairmanship from Mr Gerard Ee in 2012. Mr Ee was appointed to the role by the Ministry of Health in 2005 after the lavish lifestyles of then NKF CEO T.T. Durai and three other board members were exposed by The Straits Times.
