President for raising awareness to prevent kidney diseases

The 'World Kidney Day-2024’ will be observed in the country and elsewhere across the globe Thursday (March 14), aiming to raise awareness about the importance of sound kidneys.

This year's theme of the day is ‘Kidney health for all -Advancing equitable access to care and optimal medication practice’.

The day is going to be marked in Bangladesh through holding different programmes including rally, discussion and seminar on kidney diseases and its prevention methods.

On the eve of the day, President Mohammed Shahabuddin and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina have issued separate messages, urging the government as well as private and charitable institutions to come forward to provide expensive kidney disease treatment to the people of the country.

The President in his message said, the prevalence of kidney disease is increasing rapidly due to uncontrolled and unhealthy lifestyle, diabetes, high blood pressure, excessive use of painkillers and antibiotics, adulterated food and obesity as per the opinions of the experts.

“Although there is advanced treatment for kidney disease in the country, it is very expensive and time consuming. Therefore, along with the cure, it is very important to create public awareness to prevent kidney disease,” the head of the state added.

He said the government is making relentless efforts to provide essential health care to the common people of the country.

President Mohammed Shahabuddin hoped that all doctors, experts and institutions concerned will continue their activities in spreading the latest treatment of kidney diseases in the country.

The President wished overall success of all the programmes taken on the occasion of 'World Kidney Day'.
