WCN25-19 THE IMPACT OF PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP (PPP) IN NEPHROLOGY OF LOW-INCOME COUNTRIES (LIC), CASE OF RWANDA
The domain of nephrology encompasses the preservation of kidney health and the treatment of kidney disease. This treatment could range from dietary adjustments and medication to renal replacement therapies such as dialysis and renal transplantation. In low-income countries, managing kidney disease presents a significant challenge. Despite the high number of patients suffering from renal failure, access to renal replacement therapy remains limited. This disparity underscores the urgent need for innovative solutions and strategies to improve kidney care in these regions.
