About the Programme

With kidney failure showing no early warning signs and symptoms, how will you know whether your kidneys are damaged? This talk helps you understand the two leading causes of kidney failure – diabetes and hypertension. You will also learn the facts, myths, and severity of kidney failure and pick up tips on how to improve your lifestyle to prevent kidney damage.

To enhance your learning, come earlier to check out the health booth from 2pm to 5pm. You can have fun and learn through an interactive flipboard game to debunk myths and learn the facts about kidney health.

While supporting kidney failure patients with quality dialysis treatment and integrated care, its greater mission lies in preventing or delaying kidney failure through kidney health education and strategic collaborative partnerships.
