WHAT IS WHAT IS WHAT IS WHAT IS CREED?CREED?CREED?CREED?
CREED is a dialysis educational exchange program between Australia and the South East Asia
countries which has the support of both the local and International nephrology groups. The con-
cept originated in 2001 when the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) sub-committee
COMGAN (Commission Global Advancement in Nephrology) approached Australia to support the
development of nephrology in developing countries who have a limited exposure to Renal Science
and modern renal replacement therapies. It started originally with the Australia and New Zealand
Society of Nephrology (ANZSN) and Perhimpunan Nefrology Indonesia (PERNEFRI) to promote
exchange and education in dialysis between Australia and Indonesia.
Today, this program has extended its horizons to reach the rest of the countries in the East Asia
Region in the belief that more countries could benefit from it. This program includes Laos, Viet-
nam, Cambodia, Philippines, Myanmar, Brunei and Indonesia.
Malaysia and Thailand are also part of this program although it is hoped that these countries will
primarily be included as providers of education. This has been of great benefit to the nations with
limited exposure to renal science and dialysis practices.
OUR AIM:OUR AIM:OUR AIM:OUR AIM:
• Promote Cross Regional exchange and transfer
of knowledge and “know how” in dialysis.
• Promote the sound and scientific application of
techniques and technology in dialysis practice.
• Understand the regional limitations (in econom-
ics, skills, access) and maximize available re-
sources to optimize dialysis patient outcomes.
• Fresenius Medical Care will continue to commit
USD $50.000 per year to this program, which will
be administered by the CREED Committee,
chaired by Prof. Peter Kerr.
This committee will meet at least once a year for-
mally to discuss future activities/programs.

ships in 2012.
In 2012 the CREED committee supported Dr
Meilania Saraswati Sardjana (pathologist), Dr Ni
Made Hustrini (Nephologist) and Ms Purwanin-
grum (a dialysis nurse) to participate in a 3
month educational visit to the ISN sister centre
at Monash Medical Centre in Melbourne Aus-
tralia.
They all participated actively in many of the Re-
nal Unit activities. Dr Saraswati spent most of
her time in the Pathology Department assess-
ing renal biopsies under the mentorship of Dr
Dowling and Dr Simpson. Monash perform
about 500 biopsies per year.
Dr Hustrini and Ms Purwaningrum spent time
on the Nephrology ward and in the various di-
alysis areas (especially Peritoneal Dialysis) hon-
ing their clinical knowledge and skills and par-
ticularly learning to "teach PD". It was a very
successful 3 months, enjoyed by both sides of
the SRC and enriching to both sides.
