World Kidney Day 2019 The World Kidney Day is a global celebration observed once in a year, usually in March. Renal Dialysis Center marked this year’s event with a massive road show and health walk to raise awareness of the menace of kidney disease. We had celebrities across various sectors participate in the walk and awareness campaign. RDC offered free health screening and counseling to about 2000 persons in a popular market with an estimate of 7,000 visitors and vendors daily. Patients already on dialysis were not left out as we provided subsidized sessions and in some cases free sessions to indigent persons. RDC’s Expansion As part of our transformation plan and partnership model we aim at having at least one dialysis center in each of the 774 local governments in Nigeria within the Next 10-15 years in line with mission of providing access to quality dialysis service.
