Today is World Kidney Day.

This years theme is 'Kidney Health for All: Caring for People, Protecting the Planet'.

Environmental challenges such as air pollution, heat stress, dehydration, and
extreme weather events increase the risk of kidney disease and speed
up its progression. At the same time, treatments for end-stage kidney
disease, particularly dialysis, require large amounts of water, energy, and
single-use plastics, placing an added burden on our environment.

You can take the 'Are your kidneys healthy?' quiz here: https://kidneyquiz.theisn.org/

This month is Melanoma March.

Melanoma March celebrates Melanoma Institute Australia’s (MIA) major annual fundraising campaign. Each Melanoma March brings together melanoma patients, their families, and local communities to raise awareness and funds for research to reach the goal of zero deaths from melanoma.

Melanoma March is saving lives.

Australia has the highest melanoma rates in the world. It is the most common cancer affecting 20 to 39-year-old Australians and one Aussie is diagnosed with the disease every 30 minutes. It is estimated 1300 Australians will die from melanoma this year.

Recent advances in treatment pioneered by MIA clinicians and researchers have tripled the life expectancy for advanced melanoma patients. MIA’s ultimate mission is zero deaths from melanoma.

Take steps to help save lives.
