World Kidney Day is observed worldwide every second Thursday of March. Established in 2006 by the International Society of Nephrology and the International Federation of Kidney Foundations, this health awareness campaign aims to highlight the importance of kidneys for overall health and the impact of behaviors on kidney health. The day features various global events, including free public screenings and special marathons, which vary according to cultural traditions. These events are organized to draw attention to kidney diseases, many of which are preventable or curable, emphasizing that prevention is better than cure. Each year, a specific theme is chosen to guide the activities and discussions surrounding kidney health.
