World Kidney Day

World Kidney Day is observed across the world on the second Thursday in March every year. The day is observed in a befitting manner in Bangladesh as in other countries of the world. As a leading kidney-related organization, KAMPS undertakes a series of programs in observance of World Kidney Day every year. It brings out rallies, distributes leaflets, displays posters, banners and organizes roundtable meetings in the presence of community leaders, doctors, teachers, intellectuals, journalists and writers aiming to create awareness of kidney diseases and their prevention. The events are widely covered by a number of electronic and print media outlets in the country. To mark the day, KAMPS brings out a colorful rally in the city. Wearing T-shirts, holding placards and two large kidney symbols, the participants parade different parts of the city. KAMPS Chairman and prominent Kidney Specialist Professor Dr. M. A. Samad leads the rally with hundreds of other distinguished guests, members of KAMPS, students and people of all strata of the society. A mobile truck, decorated with colorful posters, banners and festoons, bearing awareness messages goes around the city distributing leaflets regarding kidney disease information.
