Middle East and Africa (MEA) Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Summit 2023
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a pressing public health concern in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, and it continues to pose a significant threat to the well-being of the population. CKD is a condition characterized by the gradual loss of kidney function over time, and it often goes undiagnosed until it reaches an advanced stage, leading to severe complications and increased mortality. The MEA CKD Summit is a virtual event designed to address this crucial issue by raising awareness and providing healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to combat CKD effectively.
the MEA CKD Summit aims to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to combat the rising burden of CKD in the region effectively. Ultimately, the goal is to improve the quality of care for patients with CKD, enhance awareness among the public, and reduce the prevalence and impact of this debilitating condition.
