World Kidney Day was celebrated in Brunei last Sunday, 22nd March at the Health Promotion Centre in Berakas. The 3rd Year Students were invited to attend the event and it proved to be quite informative. Did you know that 1 in 10 person in Brunei has kidney problems? And that more than 75% of the kidney problems in Brunei is due to Diabetes or Hypertension?
An exhibition was set up showing the different types of kidnay problems and their management and there were also free screening tests for Creatinine and Blood Glucose levels. Many thanks to Dr Jackson Tan, co-chairperson of the event for inviting us.
