WIN-TNCON 2022- Auspicious beginnings

Women in Nephrology (WIN) was founded in 1983 by women in the field of Nephrology as an offshoot of International Society of Nephrology. The overriding goal was to develop and provide mentors to women in the field. WIN also advocates within the nephrology community for education and research relevant to women.

With the guidance of WIN, WIN- INDIA was formally inaugurated in 2021. The mission is to ignite interest in nephrology among young practitioners and to effectively and meticulously mentor them in various aspects of kidney diseases. WIN-India endeavors to unite the young nephrologists of the country and enhance their knowledge through the immense experience of the veterans and promote research in the field of kidney diseases. WIN India also provides a platform to outreach and educate the general public and kidney patients about kidney diseases in men and women. There are about 400 women nephrologists in India now.

WIN-INDIA has its own publication (e-journal) called Indian Journal of Kidney Disease. It conducts monthly virtual clinical meeting with eminent speakers, and PG teaching programs with case presentations and quiz.
