Positioning Kidney Disease at the Forefront of the Global Health Agenda: Use and Share Free ISN Resources
The ISN is committed to highlighting kidney health in the global health agenda and actively advocates with the World Health Organization to prioritize kidney health as a critical noncommunicable disease (NCD).
Earlier this year, Nature Reviews Nephrology published “Chronic Kidney Disease and the Global Public Health Agenda: An International Consensus,” highlighting kidney disease as a leading contributor to premature mortality among NCDs.
Key recommendations from the international consensus include:
- Improved access to care
- Better prevention strategies
- Development and scaling of care models
- Greater awareness and education
- Addressing social determinants
- Increased funding for research
- International cooperation
- Engagement with patient communities
For wide dissemination and use of the international consensus findings and recommendations, download the infographic on the global burden of kidney disease and the call to action to address it. The infographic educates the public and highlights the urgent need to prioritize kidney health in global healthcare.
