World Kidney Day is observed every year on the second Thursday of March. In 2026, it will take place on Thursday, March 12, marking the 20th anniversary of this global health awareness initiative dedicated to the importance of kidney health and the prevention of kidney disease.
Launched in 2006 as a joint initiative of the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) and the International Federation of Kidney Foundations – World Kidney Alliance (IFKF-WKA), World Kidney Day has grown into a worldwide campaign engaging health professionals, patients, communities, and policy-makers to raise awareness and reduce the global burden of kidney disease.
The official theme for World Kidney Day 2026 is: “Kidney Health for All – Caring for People, Protecting the Planet.” This theme highlights the need for equitable access to kidney care worldwide while also recognizing the close link between environmental sustainability and long-term kidney health. World Kidney Day calls on individuals and organizations across the globe to promote prevention, early detection, and healthy lifestyles to protect kidney health for current and future generations.
