Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has launched an awareness campaign on kidney diseases and organ donation.
Through the campaign, awareness of how an organ donation can save the life of a patient with organ failure will be highlighted.
The initiative is taken as World Kidney Day is marked on 10 March.
Held in collaboration with the Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences, Mediclinic City Hospital and Al Jalila Children’s Specialty Hospital, the campaign will focus on three kidney transplant centres in Dubai, Dubai Hospital, Al Jalila Children's Specialty Hospital and Mediclinic City Hospital.
Individuals that are living or deceased can register to be organ donors, with one organ donor able to save the lives of eight people.
To register, visit the Ministry of Health and Prevention website.
