TANKER Foundation's World Kidney Day program started of with a free Blood Pressure (BP) check for 3,000 people at Chennai Central Station. This is mainly to create awareness of high Blood Pressure (BP) which is one of the cause of kidney failure.

This year the World Kidney Day, which is a joint program by the International Federation of Kidney Foundations (IFKF) and International Society of Nephrology (ISN) is focus on Kidney Health for Everyone Everywhere.

Awareness leaflets on kidney disease were distributed by TANKER's auto driver patients and TANKER Staff in Ambattur, Vellore, Thiruverkadu, Madurai, Coimbatore, Retteri, and Nungambakkam.

TANKER has planned other awareness programmes and screening camps through out the month.

Kidney disease can affect anybody and the World Kidney Day helps in bringing about awareness of this terrible disease.
