Today is World Kidney Day! World Kidney Day aims to raise awareness of the importance of our kidneys to our overall health and to reduce the frequency and impact of kidney disease and its associated health problems worldwide.

This year’s theme for World Kidney Day is ‘Health for All – Preparing for the unexpected, supporting the vulnerable.’ The objective is to raise awareness about disastrous events, natural or man-made, international, or local, and their impact on people living with kidney disease, whose access to appropriate diagnostic services, treatment, and care may be hindered.
