Government officials and healthcare leaders appreciated the initiative and emphasized the importance of public awareness and regular health check-ups to reduce the growing burden of kidney disease.

During these programs, doctors and healthcare experts explained the silent nature of kidney disease and highlighted that diabetes and high blood pressure are major causes of CKD. People were encouraged to adopt healthy lifestyles and undergo regular health check-ups for early detection.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. M. Sudhakara Rao, Chief Operating Officer, Apollo Dialysis Clinics, said:
