From Policy to Impact: Accelerating Early Detection for Kidney-Heart Health

​This session explores how to turn global policy commitments into action, improving early detection, and tackling the burden of CKD and interconnected heart conditions.

​Kidney disease affects 1 in 10 adults worldwide – around 850 million people – and can lead to serious complications such as kidney and heart failure. Yet 9 out of 10 don’t know they have it until it’s too late.

​Early detection can change this – protecting kidney and heart health, easing the burden on patients, their families, health systems, and economies alike. But how can we make this a reality for all?

​Join Boehringer Ingelheim and Healthy.io for an interactive panel covering:

• ​Insights and strategies to accelerate policy implementation following the recent WHO Kidney resolution and the UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs

• ​Patient perspectives on chronic kidney disease (CKD) policy – ensuring decisions are person-centered and responsive to real-world needs

• ​The importance of strong primary care that addresses cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic health in an integrated way

• ​Scalable, real-world solutions for early CKD detection and their potential to reduce health disparities with improved outcomes and lower costs
