What does the ISN-GKHA tell us about global dialysis trends?  

Why do millions of people worldwide still face limited access to dialysis despite advances in kidney care? 

This urgent question was at the heart of the recent ISN-GKHA webinar: “Global variations in hemodialysis access and outcomes – insights for improving kidney care worldwide,” based on two extensive global studies informed by 2023 ISN-Global Kidney Health Atlas findings. 

Watch the webinar at the ISN Academy 

The webinar highlights the critical need for systemic change – and strategies already making a difference. Hear from:  

  • Anukul Ghimire (Canada) on global variations in types of vascular access for hemodialysis and ways to reduce disparities 
  • Htay Htay (Singapore) on how funding, infrastructure, and workforce capacity shape dialysis delivery, particularly in LMICs — and the policy solutions driving equity  

The session was moderated by the ISN-GKHA Co-chair Aminu Bello (Canada).
