Research data is critical to healthcare planning and research. The Global Kidney Health Atlas was launched by the ISN in 2016, (the ISN-Global Kidney Health Atlas ‘ISN-GKHA’), to collect information on the current state of readiness, capacity, and competence for kidney health care delivery in each country and region. Unfortunately, participation and data retrieval from Africa has been suboptimal despite its being in the third iteration. There is a need to improve participation, collaboration and cooperation across the region hence this webinar.
Learning objectives:
- To improve collaboration and cooperation across Africa.
- To improve data generation and retrieval in Africa
- To encourage the development of renal registries across the region.
