Every year on the second Thursday in March, World Kidney Day is commemorated. The goal of the day is to increase awareness about the importance of our kidneys to our general health, as well as to decrease the burden of kidney disease and its health-related problems globally. 

The focus is on preventing the development and progression of kidney diseases, increasing kidney health education and awareness, and addressing the knowledge gap at all levels of kidney care. Awareness of the risk factors for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), screening of at-risk individuals, and encouragement of protective behaviour are all part of the equation. 

The ultimate goal is to keep everyone's kidneys in good condition.

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 2 Yet another exciting day at NACFC! I started with an interactive session on some research procedures, which I found helpful for my recruiting work and the data's impact on the population. I learned a lot from the CFTR genetics session, which aligns with one of my research group's projects, and the plenary session on The Journey to Understand and Advance Research in CFRD. I wrapped up the day by networking with colleagues at Johns Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Center  #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 3 The past few days at The 38th Annual North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) have been inspiring. I've gained a deeper understanding of CF, CF care, cutting-edge research, and, most importantly, the lived experiences of people living with cystic fibrosis and their families. I am leaving this session with more inspiration to serve people living with CF with my work. Thank you to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for this invaluable opportunity to learn, connect, and be more inspired. #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis
