🌍 Together, we made history for kidney health! For the first time ever, kidney care is officially on the global health agenda. The World Health Assembly has adopted a landmark resolution that recognizes kidney health as a key priority in the fight against #NCDs. 👏 Thank you to Guatemala for submitting the resolution and to the entire global kidney community for your tireless advocacy and support. This is a pivotal moment—let’s keep pushing for progress! #KidneyHealthMatters #WHA78























We are heartbroken to announce that Prof (Stephen) Ben Walsh, died peacefully on 30th Sept while surrounded by family & friends. Both his family & @RenalUCL are raising funds to find a way to honour his memory and achievements. More info below: justgiving.com/page/in-memory… Ben's passion for science & medicine was an integral part of who he was. And after self-diagnosing with lung cancer 18 months ago, he decided keep his condition private to protect his clinical and academic work. Remarkably Ben continued to work throughout his illness, right to the very end, ensuring that his students, colleagues and patients were taken care of, and that all he had built would continue on. There are no words to really express the profound sadness we feel, the loss of a dear friend, colleague and mentor. He will leave a very large hole in our lives and he will not be forgotten. Details of funeral/memorial services will be made available in due course. We're also requesting anyone with pictures or videos of Ben to upload these to the Google Photos or Dropbox links below. We've also attached a link to a Google Doc for messages of condolence you may wish to leave for the family.
