The Gozo Renal Unit is organising an event for World Kidney Day, which this years falls on Thursday, the 10th of March, and has the theme – Kidney Disease & Children. Act Early to Prevent It!

The event will consist of two talks by Prof Emanuel Farrugia followed by a talk by Dr Victor Mercieca.

The public talk is being held tomorrow, Friday, the 11th of March, starting at 7:30pm at the Council Hall of the Banca Giuratale, Victoria and everyone is welcome to attend.

World Kidney Day aims to raise awareness of the importance of our kidneys to our overall health and to reduce the frequency and impact of kidney disease and its associated health problems worldwide.

In this 11th Campaign year, the World Kidney Day Team said that its aim is to once again to inform parents, caregivers, young patients, policy makers and the general public of the importance of identifying and treating childhood kidney diseases, instilling an awareness of the risks for their future from kidney damage that originates in childhood, therefore building healthier future generations!
