Dubai: The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has announced the launch of an extensive educational campaign aimed at developing community awareness on kidney diseases and enhancing public understanding on organ donation. The campaign also seeks to raise awareness about how organ donation can dramatically improve the health of patients with organ failure, and in some instances save their lives.

Launched on the occasion of World Kidney Day, the campaign is being organised in collaboration with DHA’s various partners, including the Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences, Mediclinic City Hospital and Al Jalila Children’s Specialty Hospital. Every year, the Authority marks World Kidney Day on 10 March by raising awareness on kidney diseases and the latest developments related to advanced diagnostic and treatment techniques for kidney diseases.
