The three-day program included lectures and practical training sessions covering kidney diseases, treatment methods, medical care, and emergency management. The results showed a significant improvement in participants’ level of awareness.

The program concluded with the honoring of participants and the awarding of “Kidney First Responder” certificates, emphasizing the role of the family as a key partner in healthcare.
