Identifying challenges and potential solutions for sustainable kidney care delivery in selected Asian Countries

Recent surveys highlight gross workforce shortage of dietitians in global kidney health and significant gaps in renal nutrition care, with disparities greater in low/low-middle income countries. This paper narrates ground experiences gained through the Palm Tocotrienols in Chronic Hemodialysis (PaTCH) project on kidney nutrition care scenarios and some Asian low-to-middle-income countries (LMICs) namely Bangladesh, India and Malaysia. Core PaTCH investigators from 3 universities (USA and Malaysia) were supported by their postgraduate students (n=17) with capacity skills in kidney nutrition care methodology and processes.
