The International Society of Nephrology (ISN) will lead dedicated activities promoting kidney health as part of side events during the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York. Under the theme
“Kidney Health Matters: Prioritizing the Silent Epidemic,” these activities aim to raise awareness and engage policymakers and the public on the urgent need to prioritize kidney health on the global public health agenda.
"Kidney disease may be silent, but the global community cannot afford to be,” said Voice of the Patient Principal, Kevin Fowler, “By taking bold steps now, we can not only save lives but also reduce the heavy economic toll that comes with untreated kidney disease.”
