WORLD KIDNEY DAY

5.

Prof. Joel Kopple, M.D. put forward the idea of World Kidney Day in 2003.

IFKF (International Federation of Kidney Foundations) was established in 2000. Prof. Dr. Joel D. Kopple is one of the first founders of IFKF. IFKF arranged its first congress in Capadocia.

FIRST STEPS FOR WORLD KIDNEY DAY

Prof. Dr. Joel F. Kopple offered to IFKF president to hold a World Kidney Day on November 2003.

Then International Federation of Kidney Foundations and International Society of Nephrology created a committee

Beginning from 2004 some works had already been started on arranging World Kidney Day.

First World Kidney Day was held on 9th March 2006.

First World Kidney Day’s announcement arrived late to our foundation so we organized a world kidney day meeting within the Foundation Week activities.
