We conduct periodic CME/ symposia for our colleagues , practitioners form other specialities , primary care providers and medical students. As you are aware, the theme of the world kidney day this year is disasters and kidney. The guiding document for disaster management in India is the medical guidelines issued in 2007.

Therefore there is a scope for inputs from the nephrologists regarding this matter.
