The discussants noted that around two crore people in Bangladesh suffer from kidney related diseases while five face untimely death every hour from kidney failure. Yet, the treatment of kidney diseases is both costly and time consuming. KAMPS organised the programme as part of its activities to create awareness about kidney problems and diseases. Photo: KAMPS
