Take a Step Toward Better Kidney Health This March 13, 2025
World Kidney Day is a global awareness initiative that highlights the importance of kidney health and aims to reduce the impact of kidney disease worldwide. This year, on March 13, 2025, Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) invites you to join us for a day dedicated to kidney health awareness and prevention.
Why Your Kidneys Matter

Our team of nephrologists and kidney specialists will be available throughout the day to answer your questions, discuss your screening results, and provide personalized advice about kidney health at no cost.
