Ms Pallavi Kumar was invited to speak at 19th IFKF-WKA Conference in Rome from June 13-15, 2025, jointly hosted by International Federation of Kidney Foundations – World Kidney Alliance and Italian Kidney Foundation (Fondazione Italiana del Rene).
The International Federation of Kidney Foundations (IFKF) is a global alliance committed to fostering international collaboration and the exchange of ideas to enhance the health, well-being, and quality of life of individuals living with kidney disease. IFKF advocates for the improvement of healthcare delivery systems and promotes the adoption and dissemination of best practices in treatment and care. Through education programs, communication with partner organizations, and knowledge-sharing—particularly in areas such as fundraising—the Federation supports its member organizations in their mission to improve kidney health worldwide.
Ms. Pallavi Kumar presented the work of MOHAN Foundation during the session titled “Building Effective Kidney Foundations – Regional and National Impact: Sharing Experiences from Different Countries.” She highlighted the Foundation’s multifaceted approach to supporting patients with end-stage renal failure, focusing on creating an ecosystem conducive to initiating transplants in government hospitals.

Additionally, she spoke about the Foundation’s advocacy work through its patient support group, TRIOMPH, which amplifies patient voices and promotes awareness and empowerment within the transplant community.
