The goal of World Kidney Day is to unite kidney disease patients and raise public awareness of the importance of healthy kidneys and their role in maintaining good health. Worldwide, millions of people who have chronic kidney disease do not have access to adequate diagnostic services or treatment options. 

This year's campaign is focused on increasing public awareness of catastrophic events, either man-made or natural, global or local, that affect people living with kidney disease and their access to appropriate diagnostic services, treatment, and care. Due to their ongoing need for continuous comprehensive care, which is frequently lifelong and cost-demanding, people with kidney disease are among the population groups that are most vulnerable in emergencies.

Health advice is widely disseminated as part of the program, and people with comorbid conditions like diabetes and hypertension are screened for chronic kidney disease and kidney failure treatment options are advocated for. It is a call to action for patients, the general public, governments, and stakeholders who are in positions of power to collaborate to raise awareness of the problems encountered by patients with chronic kidney disease and offer solutions. This is done to be ready for unforeseen circumstances and prevent any disruption in the accessibility of diagnosis, therapy, and care.

While delivering patient care, wearing professional clothes (i.e., a white coat with more formal clothes ) may have a positive impact on trust and confidence-building in the medical encounter. One of the most essential things in instilling a patient’s confidence in the doctors is their appearance.

ROAD TO MASTERS IN THE US

​ jhsph.edu  ROAD TO MASTERS PROGRAM IN THE US   The first thing is deciding where you want to further your education. For me, I believe the United States stands out for various reasons   1.  Their institutions/universities are among the best in the world 2.  Unlike institutions in the UK, you do not have to pay tuition upfront. In  fact  in my case, I had come to the US, started my program and was way into my program before payment was required to register for courses for next term. I only paid acceptance fee back in Nigeria. 3.  There are scholarships available in most institutions, but they are quite competitive. Do due diligence and research on the institutions you are applying to. This is a link of available scholarships in some institutions.  4.  In lieu of scholarships there are loans available which do not require a co-signer/guarantor  like  Prodigy finance  and  Mpower     Depending on when you are making this decision , I would start from the beginning, so you can pick up f
