World Sleep Day
World Sleep Day is an annual event, intended to be a celebration of sleep and a call to action on important issues related to sleep, including medicine, education, and social aspects.
Not getting enough quality sleep contributes, in the short term, to problems with learning and processing information, and it can have a harmful effect on long-term health and well-being.
Sleep deprivation is incredibly common amongst adults, with the vast majority of people reporting insomnia, restless or interrupted sleep.
Lack of sleep may be a result of numerous factors, including stress, anxiety, medical conditions, and personal habits.

World Kidney Day 2022 – Kidney Health for All!
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common and harmful: 1 out of 10 adult people worldwide have it, and if left untreated it can be deadly.
While early detection allows for disease care and management to help prevent morbidity and mortality, the knowledge gap is stifling the fight against kidney disease.
Adopt a healthy diet and lifestyle (access to clean water, exercise, healthy diet, and tobacco control) to maintain good kidney health, preserve kidney function longer in those with CKD, and increase overall general awareness of the importance of kidneys.
