World Kidney Day falls on March 14 this year, as it is observed on the second Thursday of March in 2024. The purpose of the day is to increase public awareness of the significance of kidney health.
Ever since 2006, the second Thursday of March has been the global healthcare event known as World Kidney Day. Its goals are to unite individuals with kidney disorders together and raise public awareness of "remarkable kidneys" by teaching people about the importance of kidneys in preserving health.
World Kidney Day is observed on Thursday, March 14, 2024.
World Kidney Day's theme for 2024 is "Kidney Health for All: Advancing Equitable Access to Care and Optimal Medication Practice." The focus for this year is to increase awareness of the disparities in kidney disease treatment and foster teamwork to provide access to quality care for all individuals impacted by kidney disease.
The kidneys are among the body's most vital organs. They assist in keeping the body fit and healthy by eliminating toxins from it. In addition, they aid in the production of urine and regulate several substances in the blood. Additionally, they support blood pressure regulation.
Determining people's present state of renal health requires increasing their awareness of kidney health and highlighting the importance of regular testing. World Kidney Day is celebrated annually to raise awareness of kidneys and their significance to our health.
Taking a medical check-up while finding out about our current kidney health status is the ideal approach to commemorating this significant day. Further research on the risks associated with kidney illnesses and preventive strategies is also an option. It is going to assist us in raising consciousness.
The chronic kidney disease epidemic among Indians is expected to intensify due to an aging population, rising rates of hypertension, and diabetes. Only by being aware of the impending tsunami of chronic kidney disease can one confront it. Knowledge can aid in the early diagnosis of kidney illness, and it can be deemed more effective if the patient is involved in the awareness campaign.
Additionally, the day aims to support initiatives that encourage early kidney disease detection and give everyone access to kidney therapy. It also aids in educating individuals about the importance of upholding a healthy lifestyle and the risk factors.
