Review for La Isla Network, Washington, DC, USA
A year ago I did not have an idea about the epidemic of CKDnt going on. I didn't even have an idea there was one going on. Then, I had the opportunity to be in the thesis defense of one of my classmates focusing on CKDnt in India. I learned this is happening in many countries around the world not just in India. It was devastating to see the consequences of the disease and how agricultural workers get the most affectation. She showed data from rice-field workers, but during the presentation she mentioned it was happening also in other regions with different crops and even different jobs. I was curious and interested in the topic and started my own little research and found La Isla Network’s webpage. It is concerning that not so many people know about the existence of this disease. They do a great job raising awareness and overall focusing on research. It has been amazing to see they focus on different regions. Thank you for bringing awareness about this disease.
