Abstract Background Kidney diseases have been identified as a major threat to patients with cardiac diseases as they can affect 50% of patients with cardiovascular diseases stages 4 and 5. World Kidney Day (WKD) is a global campaign aimed at raising the awareness of the importance of our kidneys. Aim Aswan Heart Centre was celebrating WKD by conducting an educational awareness day aiming to enhance and fill the knowledge gap for healthcare workers and patients. Process This event was divided as follows:Patients and families: nurses in different departments of the facility ran several educational sessions, and patients group discussions to promote the wellbeing of patients and families regarding the Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and the 8 golden rules through the utilization of some interactive materials such as videos and educational posters written in Arabic.Healthcare workers: An online session was conducted for all nurses in Aswan Heart Centre to enhance the knowledge background regarding chronic kidney disease. Furthermore, an online survey was completed by the nurses to assess the current understanding of the chronic kidney disease prior the online session. Graph1. Survey result 71 nursing staff took the survey. Data analysis Most of the staff were aware about the kidney health as the average of the correctly answered questions is 67.25% as shown in Chart 1.
