To mark the World Kidney Day -the second thursday of March- the doctors,nurses and lab technicians screened about 400 people at Nehru Park- which is situated near KMCH. Later on these people were issued a multicoloured card that carried a tag "Are you at risk".
The dean of KMCH Dr.Kanagadsabai said that though people are aware of high risk diseases like diabetics, hear problems etc the public awareness on equally dangerous kidney related problems are very low. So this programme was arranged to make the public aware of the kidney related complications.
The programme commenced from 6.30 a.m . The people who visit the park were given a card listing serveral criteria which could lead to kidney diseases. Later they were subjected to Body Mass Index (BMI), blood asnd urine tests the results will be given by Friday evening.
