The WDD is a major global awareness campaign for diabetes organized by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO). This year’s theme revolves around the effect of diabetes on the kidney.


Majority of patients with diabetes are at high risk of developing severe kidney disease which may end up in kidney failure, requiring long-term dialysis or kidney transplantation.
