More Than Meets the Eye
"I was inspired as Janet shared her story. I saw my friend in a new light. I saw the side of her I did not know. Likewise, Janet saw the side of me she did not know. The exciting thing is that each of our missions is interconnected and related, one a continuation of the other. So then, I asked Janet for permission to interview her to document the incredible work she’s doing.

Isn’t it amazing that you think you have known someone well for two decades? But you don’t know them as well as you thought.  I would describe this soft-spoken, incredibly generous friend, Janet, as a sister from another mother. Our children grew up together and related like brothers and sister...

REGISTRATION IS OPEN: Acute Kidney Injury Online Course for African Healthcare Professionals

Of the 13.3 million cases of acute kidney injury (AKI) and 2.3 million AKI-related deaths reported globally each year, approximately 85% occur in low- and middle-income countries. The mortality rate for AKI in sub-Saharan Africa is approximately 32%, which exceeds the comparable rate of 24% reported globally.

AKI is preventable with early diagnosis and aggressive management.

However, the lack of awareness of the risk factors, symptoms of AKI, and failure to promptly diagnosis and treat patients with or at risk of AKI result in the high morbidity and mortality rates seen across sub-Saharan Africa. With knowledge and skills general physicians will have the competence necessary to assess and manage patients with or at risk of AKI.
