World Kidney Day (WKD) is observed every year on the Second Thursday of March. In 2023, it falls on March 14th and aims to advocate for Kidney Health for All! Professor Alessandro Balducci, co-chair of the WKD Joint Steering Committee, is joined in this episode by WKD Joint Steering Committee members Dr. Dina Abdellatif, Dr. Ricardo Correa-Rotter, and Dr. Katherine Tuttle, the Executive Director for Research at Providence Inland Northwest Health. The WKD Joint Steering Committee has declared WKD 2024 as “Advancing equitable access to care and optimal medication practice.” Their conversation covers the goals of WKD, raising awareness about the importance of ensuring equitable access to appropriate treatment and care for people living with kidney disease, in order to improve their quality of life and delay the progression of the disease.
