Mission Statement

The Regional Subcommittee has identified the following major obstacles to the advancement of nephrology in their respective region:

  • Lack of good medical infrastructure, partially due to inadequate links between local opinion leaders, medical societies and movers with government;
  • Lack of interest (no CME credits required in many countries); 
  • Lack of resources for local guidelines.
