As Senna was diagnosed with renal failure at the age of 15, he did the opposite of what most teenagers would do and came up with a new life plan for his future.

On the 12th of March, Fresenius Medical Care Indonesia celebrated World Kidney Day by organising an awareness event in cooperation with the Indonesian Society of Nephrology.
