Mohali, March 14

Fortis Hospital observed World Kidney Day with the launch of Sahaayak – a support group for dialysis patients.

Dr Amit Sharma, senior consultant, nephrology, addressed patients and stressed on the importance of early diagnosis to help prevent kidney disease.

Discussing kidney health, Dr Sharma said, “Kidneys help filter blood and remove toxins from the body. If the kidneys are not functioning well, toxins build up and cause gradual loss of function of the kidneys. This health condition should not be ignored and warrants immediate medical intervention.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
