CKD is rising rapidly across Africa, placing increasing pressure on already constrained health systems. At the same time, kidney care, particularly dialysis, carries a substantial environmental footprint, with high demands on water, energy, and consumables. This dual challenge calls for a rethinking of current models of care to ensure both sustainability and equitable access.<\/p>\n

This webinar, aligned with the World Kidney Day 2026 theme\u00a0\u201cKidney Health for All: Caring for People, Protecting the Planet,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0will explore practical and context-specific approaches to sustainable kidney care in low-resource African settings. It will examine the growing burden of kidney disease alongside environmental constraints, highlight feasible solutions including prevention strategies and adapted dialysis models, and address the key barriers to implementation at system level.<\/p>\n
