Deputy Minister of Health in our country, Dr. Asim Musa, said that all health institutions in our country devote special importance to this day, by joining this initiative of the World Health Organization for marking this day, because as he said, it is known that the kidney is a very important organ in the human body and that many diseases, whether acute or chronic for a short time or over the years, are attacking its function. He also appealed to all citizens to take greater care of these diseases in order to prevent these diseases on time.
