OUR RESOURCES


Inventory of IFKF Member Resources

New IFKF members are encouraged to consider developing resources for their communities in your local language, while observing existing copy right, and obtaining permission to copy. Most Council members are delighted to share material to save time and funds. Our Inventory of IFKF Member Resources is an often used resource by kidney healthcare professionals needing multilingual information for their patients. Many IFKF Council Members offer educational resources in both local language and English. Email Marianne Vennegoor mavennegoor@aol.com to update your info.
