Day 2 – Students Volunteer Program
The second day of the volunteer program was filled with learning, awareness, and compassion.
Students attended an interactive lecture by Dr. Sidra Siddiqui, who explained the functions of the kidneys and how dialysis supports patients with kidney failure.
After the lecture, students were taken on a round of the dialysis unit, where they met and interacted with patients suffering from chronic kidney disease. Listening to their stories helped students explore the journey from being a healthy person to living with a lifelong illness, and the many challenges faced during treatment. ❤️
The visit also included a practical demonstration where students learned how a hemodialysis machine removes toxins from the blood, how to check blood pressure, and how to respond in emergencies when readings become unstable.
It was an inspiring and educational day that helped students connect theory with real-life experiences, preparing them to become responsible, compassionate, and knowledgeable future hero's.
