Engaging Nutrition and Diet for Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Prevention of Kidney Disease: The World Kidney Day 2020

The concept of the World Kidney Day (WKD) was developed in 2006 by the International Federation of Kidney Foundations and the International Society of Nephrology. The WKD is a global campaign initiative aimed at improving education and raising awareness of the importance of kidney health and to help reduce frequency and impact of kidney disease and its associated health problems worldwide. Each year, on the second Thursday of March, and also during the entire month of March, the WKD is acknowledged and celebrated throughout the world with many diverse events and innovative activities including public health screenings, marathon runs, professional and educational meetings, festive events, and more, supported by the International Federation of Kidney Foundations, International Society of Nephrology, and kidney patient groups.
