We thank the author for his interest and comments on this important topic on translating what we know into what we do in kidney care1 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 health care services, especially for middle-income countries. Indeed, this was shown in the ESCORT studies in Thailand, where an integrate d comprehensive multidisciplinary kidney care program was shown to delay kidney disease progression, even in resource-limited settings.
