IFKF-WKA had their first Webinar on the topic Healthy Food For Healthy Kidneys. Panel of renowned Doctors, Dieticians & A Transplant Patient participated in the event.
Sharing of personal experiences from all our panelists gave the listener how to look at food from the perspective of the doctor & dietician. Our main speaker being a transplant recipient made it very interesting when she shared her experiences first hand as to how she kept her food tasty, healthy, hygienic and at the same time simple and home cooked. Overall the evening was very informative with all the participants sharing their expertise and information for the benefit of all.
