Kidney disease is easiest to manage when it’s caught early — which is why BKF runs a school-based prevention programme using a simple urine strip test to flag students who need further follow-up. Since the programme began in November 2016, it has reached 23 schools and screened over 6,200 students across Bangalore, with the goal of covering 10,000 students in the years ahead. It’s early, low-cost intervention at the scale where it matters most.
