WKD-2024: To delay CKD is Real

1. Wide public information campaign: 

The primary focus lies in an extensive information campaign conducted across social media platforms. Students from the Nephrology Department, under the guidance of their mentors, have created a plethora of content tailored for platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Tik-Tok and others. These informative posts will delve into the major role of kidneys within the human anatomy, early diagnostic measures, and various methodologies for identifying kidney pathologies, particularly Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Additionally, there will be videos emphasizing the importance of managing diabetes and hypertension, along with the consequential impacts on kidney health.

2. Running Marathon

Participation in a 10-kilometer running marathon in Almaty-city. In a display of solidarity and advocacy, marathon participants will wear  T-shirts embellished with the emblem of WKD-2024.

3. To delay CKD is REAL

We are intended to celebrate World Kidney Day by arranging Scientific Conference called “To delay CKD is REAL” that will be held on 14th March, 2024. Lecturers from Kazakh National Medical University, Research Institute of Cardiology and Internal Diseases and Kazakh Dialysis society will take part and demonstrate various informative presentations about Kidney health.  The lectures will possess instructional content tailored for endocrinologists, cardiologists, and general practicians, as they are the primary specialists involved in managing conditions predisposing individuals to detect and delay Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
