The Barbados Kidney Association is sounding the alarm over the number of young Barbadians with end stage Kidney Disease.
President, Allan Haynes is reminding the public this World Kidney Day that kidney disease impacts various age groups, not just the elderly.
Mr. Haynes was a guest on CBC TV8’s Mornin’ Barbados.
Barbados is onboard with the global campaign this World Kidney Day, aimed at raising awareness of the importance of our kidneys to overall health and at reducing the frequency and impact of kidney disease.
Several activities are planned as World Kidney Week continues.
Given the theme, “Kidney Health For All: Preparing For the Unexpected, Supporting the Vulnerable”, Mr. Haynes wants greater attention paid to those at risk.
