World kidney day, what is it like to receive a new kidney

From Afternoons, 1:33 pm on 10 March 2022

To mark World Kidney Day, Jesse speaks to Kidney Health NZ General Manager Michael Campbell and transplant recipient Katherine Paton. 

They are both speaking out to talk about the importance of transplants and how much it saves the health system when a person is no longer reliant on dialysis. They're also encouraging people to have the conversation about being a donor.
