World Kidney Day 2025: Kauvery Hospital Bengaluru Launches Lifesaving Initiatives for CKD Awareness & Access

India grapples with a staggering CKD burden, with an estimated 15–17% of adults suffering from chronic kidney ailments. Karnataka mirrors this national crisis, where late diagnosis, limited access to screening, and prohibitive treatment costs exacerbate mortality rates. Alarmingly, over 60% of patients discover their kidney dysfunction incidentally during advanced stages, often requiring immediate dialysis or transplantation. Lack of awareness, socioeconomic barriers, and inadequate healthcare infrastructure further deepen the challenge, leaving millions vulnerable to preventable complications

Kauvery Hospital is addressing these challenges head-on through targeted outreach and affordability-driven care solutions. On World Kidney Day 2025, Kauvery Hospitals Electronic City reaffirmed its commitment to renal care by launching transformative initiatives aimed at advancing equitable healthcare access. Under this year’s theme, “Kidney Health for All: Advancing Equitable Access to Care and Optimal Medication Practice,” our hospital took significant strides to combat India’s growing chronic kidney disease (CKD) burden.

The event was a grand success, bringing together medical experts, kidney donors, patients, and community members in a shared mission to raise awareness and enhance kidney health.

Key Highlights of Our World Kidney Day Event:

1. Felicitation of 10+ Kidney Donors: Honoring the Unsung Heroes

A special highlight of the day was the heartfelt felicitation of 10+ kidney donors, whose selfless contributions have given new life to patients battling kidney failure. The event was an emotional moment of gratitude, celebrating these heroes for their invaluable sacrifices. As a token of appreciation, all honored donors received free kidney health screenings, ensuring their own well-being remains a priority.

2. 10,000+ Kidney Disease Screenings Across 8 Rural Villages

Taking healthcare beyond hospital walls, Kauvery Hospital initiated one of Karnataka’s largest free kidney screening drives, reaching out to underserved areas in Anekal Taluk. The screenings—conducted in villages such as Marasur, Madivala, and Settahalli—aim to detect CKD at an early stage and prevent severe complications through timely intervention.

3. Karnataka’s First ₹1,000 Dialysis Program by a Corporate Hospital

Bridging the gap between affordability and quality, Kauvery Hospital, in partnership with Ramakrishna Charitable Trust, launched Karnataka’s first ₹1,000 dialysis program. This initiative ensures that high-quality dialysis remains within financial reach for all patients in need.

4. Celebrating 50+ Successful Kidney Transplants

Kauvery Hospital’s transplant team proudly marked a milestone of 50+ successful kidney transplants, with over 23 robotic-assisted procedures—a testament to precision-driven care and superior patient outcomes.

A Commitment to Lifesaving Kidney Care

Powered by a team of renowned nephrologists, transplant surgeons, and dedicated specialists, Kauvery Hospital continues to lead the way in advanced renal care. With cutting-edge robotic-assisted transplant technology, an advanced Cath Lab, a best-in-class Dialysis Unit, and a specialized Transplant ICU, we ensure precision-driven treatment with superior patient outcomes.
