In the developed world, if you have kidney failure there are options of dialysis or transplantation, which are life saving.

In the developing countries, kidney failure often goes undiagnosed and untreated.

• The outlook for someone with kidney failure in many countries is worse than if they had HIV/AIDS
• Dialysis is not always available and if it is, the cost of $100 per session is out of the financial reach of many.
• There is no dialysis for children.
• Transplantation is not an option as the medical skills are not yet established.

Many patients die unnecessarily.
