A truly value-generating kidney care programme re-aligns patients and their families, providers, and medical schemes to slow the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and relieve the suffering that arises. That means detecting risk and kidney deterioration early, and empowering patients with information, benefits, and access to the right providers to slow decline. It means managing renal replacement therapy (RRT), both as a life-saving intervention and as a care decision arising from patient preferences.
