ISN Africa Regional Board Webinar: Declaration of Abidjan, how well so far?

  • 2 PM CEST

The Abidjan Declaration in Support of Kidney Care in the African Continent was launched during the AFRAN congress in February, 2023 in Cairo, Egypt. The declaration noted the high burden of kidney disease, its progression , increased morbidity and mortality, low health budget and high cost of Kidney Replacement Therapy in Africa. Consequently, the ISN and AFRAN decided to work with the African Union, the European Union, the World Health Organization and the United Nations to improve awareness and access to kidney care and subsequently reduce morbidity and mortality of CKD in Africa. 

 

Learning objectives:

  • To re-awaken stakeholders to the highlights of the declaration.
  • To educate AFRAN members about the declaration.
  • To encourage local Associations to facilitate the collaboration with local Authorities.
