World Kidney Day 2015: Thank you everybody

After a great World Kidney Day (WKD) on March 13, 2015, the WKD team would like to thank all participants for making this 10th edition really special.

The results of this year’s campaign reveal how successful you all were in drumming up attention and raising awareness about kidney disease. More than 500 events were organized in some 90 countries worldwide. The most active of you were in UK, India, Spain, Indonesia and Argentina.

This edition of WKD focused on “Kidney Health for All”. A theme many clearly identified with worldwide. Governments from 60 countries positively responded by supporting WKD in France, Australia, Kenya, Bangladesh and Thailand. We hope kidney health will become a priority on their health agendas.

On social media, more than 4,000 pictures were posted about “drink a glass of water and give one too.” Some 50 million people were reached through #worldkidneyday. There is still time to share your activities by uploading picture on the WKD website.

You can report on your activities, HERE and share your pictures in WKD gallery 2015, HERE.
