  • Call for transparent policies governing equitable and sustainable access to advanced health care services and better financial protection as more resources become available.
  • Breaking down socioeconomic barriers and expanding access to comprehensive services in order to meet the needs of the population is essential to guarantee equitable kidney care and increase in quality of the care.
