The Irish Kidney Association and the HSE National Renal Office (NRO) are coming together to raise awareness about Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) on World Kidney Day tomorrow, Thursday, March 14.
With statistics revealing that one in ten people of the general population, and one in seven people in Ireland over the age of 50, have Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), the focus of the campaign is to urge individuals to take action and prioritise kidney health, especially given its close links to diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.
Additionally, the World Kidney Day 2024 campaign marks the return of the Irish Kidney Association’s national fundraising campaign after a four-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Volunteers, many of whom are patients themselves, will be back in ALDI stores, and other locations across the country, distributing free organ donor cards and collecting vital funds to support patients in need, through the sale of the Irish Kidney Association’s Forget-me-Not flower emblems, which are also available to buy online from the IKA Forget-Me-Not Virtual Garden
