Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education:

World kidney day on 8 March 2012 provides a chance to reflect on the success of kidney transplantation as a therapy for end-stage renal disease that surpasses dialysis treatments for the quality and quantity of life and for cost effectiveness. The ISN and the Transplantation society have pledged to work together in coordinated joint global outreach programs to help establish and grow appropriate kidney transplant programs in low- and middle-income countries utilizing their considerable joint expertise. World kidney day 2012 provides a focus to help spread this message to governments, all health authorities and communities across the world.
