About World Kidney Day

The world observes World Kidney Day to create awareness among the people about the importance of keeping the kidney safe and healthy. The second Thursday of March every year kidney day is observed and this year was no exception. If we are able to create awareness, we can prevent 60 per cent of kidney problems which can bring a drastic change in the present scenario. We hope, the day is not observed as a mere ceremony and efforts should be made to translate our words and thoughts into tangible action.

I know from my experience of one of my relatives about the pains and sufferings of a kidney patient and I know it is very difficult for the patients and their family emotionally, financially and physically.
