The manuscript is a product of ISN’s second Global Kidney Health Summit, which focused on improving worldwide access to integrated ESKD care. During the Summit, concrete strategies were designed to fill gaps in knowledge and practice, and a high-level performance framework was created to evaluate progress over time.
‘We recognize the importance of improving global access to safe and sustainable integrated ESKD care. Engaging all relevant individuals and groups to implement and track progress will lead to improved care and outcomes for patients with ESKD globally,’ says David Harris.
