“Today’s event is marked in collaboration with renal study group of the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital to commemorate 2025 World Kidney Day which is celebrated annually to raise awareness about kidney health and advocating, for preventive measures against kidney diseases, for healthy living of citizens,” Ahmed said.

He disclosed that the 2025 event would feature sensitisation and the screening of over 400 Kwara residents, for kidney disease. This is done to harp on early detection, reduce the burden of kidney diseases and sustain healthy living of Kwarans,” he added.

 

Ahmed noted that kidney disease is a growing global health problem that affects millions of people globally, saying 10 per cent of the world’s population is affected by the chronic kidney disease with millions of people dying every year because of the lack of access to affordable treatment.

 

Earlier, the coordinator, Ilorin Renal Study Group, Prof. Timothy Olanrewaju, had said that Kidney disease is a silent killer that can progress without symptoms until it’s too late.

 

Olanrewaju who said that early detection is crucial, stressed the need to increase the advocacy on  kidney disease and encourage people to get screened without delay.
