World Kidney Day 2020 will take place on Thursday, March 12!
WKD Campaign 2020
We are delighted to announce that the 2020 World Kidney Day campaign will be focusing on all aspects of prevention of kidney disease and related complications.
Read the full length 2020 theme description here.
In 2020, World Kidney Day is celebrating its 15th anniversary and is going back to basics. Our mission is more relevant than ever. One in ten adults has chronic kidney disease (CKD). Moreover, CKD is projected to become the 5th most common cause of years of life lost globally by 2040. This is simply unacceptable as with appropriate access to basic diagnostics and early treatment many forms of kidney disease are preventable and progression to end-stage kidney disease is delayable.
World Kidney Day continues to raise awareness on the increasing burden of kidney diseases worldwide and to strive for kidney health for everyone, everywhere. Specifically, today’s launched campaign aims to highlight the importance of preventive interventions to avert the onset and progression of kidney disease.
Join us on this campaign and help to prevent kidney disease!
We call on everyone to advocate for concrete measures in every country to promote and advance kidney disease prevention.
