Advancing Chronic Care
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) represents a major and growing public health challenge due to its high prevalence, significant morbidity, and elevated mortality rates. Despite occupying less than 3% of the world’s landmass, India is home to approximately 17% of the global population, placing immense pressure on its healthcare infrastructure.
A substantial proportion of CKD patients belong to economically disadvantaged communities, living below the poverty line. Limited national income, constrained healthcare budgets, and insufficient public health funding have collectively resulted in suboptimal disease management and patient outcomes. These challenges are further compounded by restricted access to early diagnosis, preventive care, and long-term treatment options.
Addressing these gaps through portfolio expansion and diversification in healthcare services is essential to improve outcomes, enhance accessibility, and ensure equitable management of chronic diseases like CKD across India.
