[Policy Recommendations] Policy Recommendations on Strengthening CKD Strategies for Workers: The Importance of Providing Early Detection, Intervention, and Support Through Screenings and Medical Visits (October 28, 2024)

In 2022, Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) launched the “Kidney Disease Control Promotion Project” and formed a public-private-academic-civic advisory board. HGPI held meetings advocating for the importance of CKD prevention and early intervention, the significance of multidisciplinary and multisectoral collaboration, the need to expand successful local government initiatives, and the promotion of kidney disease strategies based on patient and stakeholder perspectives.

CKD is a disease that also affects the working-age population. Given that there are individuals with CKD, those at high risk, and those undergoing dialysis within the working-age population, HGPI recognizes the need to more clearly understand the current challenges in kidney disease measures and to consider practical CKD control measures and their scope for the working-age population.

This time, HGPI has compiled proposals to strengthen CKD control withing the working-age population based on careful interviews with experts in industry, government, academia, and civil society and thorough investigation of previous discussions.
