THIS week's episode of Healthcare Today with Manvir Victor got a huge boost when patient advocates for kidney health from three countries joined the podcast.

Vasundara Raghavan from India, Richard Knight from the United States and Joab Wako from Kenya brief us on the situation on the ground in their countries.

Listeners will get to hear the different systems of healthcare representation for the treatment of this disease in their respective countries and the importance of transplantation as opposed to dialysis there.

We learn how each of them engages with their governments to try and advance the care of patients.

We also hit upon a great solution for promoting kidney and other transplants from a financial aspect for each country.
