Response to Bridging the Knowledge – Practice Gap in Kidney Care: Insights from a Medical Student in Thailand

We thank the author for his interest and comments on this important topic on translating what we know into what we do in kidney care [1], and for highlighting Thailand's success in integrating dialysis and kidney care within its universal health coverage [2]. We agreed that this may be a commendable model for extending critical healthcare services, especially for middle-income countries. Indeed, this was shown in the ESCORT studies in Thailand, where an integrated comprehensive multidisciplinary kidney care program was shown to delay kidney disease progression, even in resource-limited settings [3].
