It's #kidneyawarenessmonth! most people are born with two kidneys, each about the size of an adult fist, on either side of the spine just below the rib cage. Your kidneys perform many complex and vital functions #AreYourKidneysOK #worldkidneyday2025

People who receive a kidney transplant generally live longer than those who remain on dialysis. Taking good care of yourself and your new kidney gives you the best chance for a longer, healthier life. #WorldKidneyDay #OurKidneysOurPlanet #KidneyHealthForAll

What a significant milestone! The EAC NCD Framework (2024–2030) has officially been launched at the National #NCDConference 2025 @ncdalliance @eancdalliance @MOH_Kenya The framework advances advocacy, improves data systems, strengthens governance & boosts sustainable financing.

The organ transplant waiting list is carefully managed to match donors and recipients by blood type, tissue compatibility, urgency, time waiting, and location. But demand far exceeds supply — leading to long waits and tough decisions. We urgently need more donors.

We are honoured to join the First National NCD Conference 2025. Together with @MOH_Kenya, NCD advocates, experts & partners, we’re advancing dialogue & action for stronger prevention, early detection & integrated PHC care. Visit our booth at the exhibitors’ centre. #TuongeeNCDs
