World Kidney Day - March 13

I was pleasantly surprised to see China medical authorities recognizing the World Kidney Day on the CCTV newscast today. It is not something you expect to find here, but 11% of China's population has kidney disease. That is a huge number of people. It is good to see the country putting more effort behind such events.

For more information, see: Alliance for Paired Donation

& National Kidney Foundation

& United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS)
- particularly the chart on kidney transplants!
