As the burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) continues to escalate globally, the increasing demand for specialized care is intensifying the burden of the nephrology workforce shortage. CKD impacts around 850 million people worldwide, and shockingly, nearly 90% of those affected remain unaware of their condition, exacerbating the challenge.
