Saint Lucia observes World Kidney Day with focus on Promoting Kidney Health

The Ministry of Health, Wellness and Nutrition joins the global community in commemorating the 20th anniversary of World Kidney Day under the theme, “Kidney Health for All: Caring for People, Protecting the Planet.” This year the theme for World Kidney Day “Kidney Health for All: Caring for People, Protecting the Planet” urges every St. Lucian to be in the know when it comes to protecting vital organs such as the kidneys. It also reminds us of the need to engage in environmentally friendly practices which will protect our planet while preserving the health of generations to come. The observance of this day also calls for action to raise awareness of the burden of kidney disease and the importance of our kidneys to overall health.
