FRIDAY JUNE 13TH 2008

On Thursday 12th of June, mum received and award at parliament house for her contribution she has made over the last 25 years to kidney transplant patients. It was an honour she so deserved especially as she will be retiring soon so mum this post is for you, your family are so proud of you, congratulations


We proudly honour these inspirational
Kidney Health Australia 'Angels'

Our program was set up to honour and recognise the work carried out by hundreds of people daily in hospitals and medical clinics to assist over 14,000 Australians remain alive on dialysis and transplantation. It also recognises the commitment of family, friends and work colleagues of kidney patients.

Dialysis and transplantation are the primary treatment options but there is no cure for kidney disease. The continuing shortfall in the supply of kidney donors, and simultaneous 6% increase in people on dialysis, is an alarming trend which may result in even more deaths among those waiting for a transplant.

In celebration of Kidney Health Australia's 40th Anniversary, we will be honouring 40 individuals around Australia
