Analysis results Within the framework of World Kidney Day Nazarbayev University School of Medicine (NUSOM) and “University Medical Center” Corporate Fund (UMC) are organizing a campaign aimed at raising public awareness of the importance of kidney health. The events will be held on March 14 and 15, 2024 in Astana.
