ABSTRACT Background Governance, health financing, and service delivery are critical elements of systems for provision robust sustainable chronic disease care. We leveraged the third iteration International Society Nephrology Global Kidney Health Atlas (ISN-GKHA) to evaluate oversight financing kidney care worldwide. Methods A survey was administered stakeholders from countries affiliated with ISN July September 2022. evaluated funding models utilized reimbursement medications, services management disease, replacement therapy (KRT). also assessed structures Results Overall, 167 192 territories contacted responded survey, representing 97.4% global population. High-income tended use public reimburse all categories in comparison low-income (LICs) lower-middle income (LMICs). In where KRT available, 78% provided universal coverage. The proportion that used fully varied non-dialysis (27%), dialysis acute injury (either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) (44%), (45%), (42%), transplant medications (36%). Oversight at a national level 63% countries, state/provincial 28% countries. Conclusion This study demonstrated significant gaps coverage, care, particularly LICs LMICs.
