ISN’s Global Kidney Health Atlas 2023 Data Addresses Kidney Care Gaps in Resource-limited Settings
PLOS Global Public Health recently published a series of articles using data from the third edition of the ISN-Global Kidney Health Atlas (ISN-GKHA), exploring gaps in availability, affordability, quality, and access to kidney care services across countries by World Bank income group classifications.

Additionally, Kidney360 recently published “Global Policy and Advocacy Initiatives for Improving Kidney Care: Report From the 2023 ISN-GKHA Study,” by Wainstein et al., providing a global overview of the existence and reach of national strategies for kidney care.
The ISN-GKHA data clearly highlights the need for greater global and national prioritization of kidney health to reduce global inequities in access to kidney care.
