Abstract

While considerable resilience is seen among hemodialysis patients in conflict areas of Northwest Syria, there are deficits in care and health literacy concerning ESKD and hemodialysis which should be addressed. There are a number of low resource actions which could be undertaken for this population to improve their health and understanding of their disease which are currently being considered.
