Understanding the barriers for prevention and detection of chronic kidney disease among healthcare professionals in Syria: a qualitative study

The primary and secondary prevention of CKD in Syria is still nascent. Comprehensive strategies addressing individual, interpersonal and community/societal barriers are necessary to advance CKD primary prevention and early detection efforts. The study contributes to advancing the primary and secondary prevention of CKD and guiding targeted interventions and collaborative efforts to improve early detection of CKD in Syria. Analysing the local context of Syria and the availability of international resources for CKD primary prevention and early detection provides a decision-making framework that outlines actionable strategies for both domestic capacity-building and international organisational support.
