Mission Statement
Advocating and implementing the ISN's mission of improving the prevention and treatment of Kidney Diseases in East Asia through education and collaboration.
The following major obstacles to the advancement of nephrology in the region have been identified by the Regional Subcommittee:
- Language Barrier - most of the nephrologists in this region have difficulties to communicate in English which limits the possibilities to renew knowledge on clinical practice and research.
- Shortage of financial resources and lack of nephrology experts in view of the vast population.
