This policy brief examines how countries in Southeast Asia can translate growing policy recognition of kidney health into financed and measurable healthcare system action, drawing primarily on Thailand\u2019s experience.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Policy Context<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>WHO Resolution WHA78.6 has recognized kidney disease as an NCD priority requiring prevention, management, and surveillance at the national level. In Southeast Asia, its implementation faces existing barriers, including late diagnosis, high treatment costs, and a shortage of nephrologists. Thailand\u2019s experience illustrates the potential role of UHC benefit packages for dialysis provision in the region, as well as the need to align dialysis coverage with service capacity and to invest in earlier care that prevents progression to kidney failure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Policy Recommendations<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Health ministries and other partners should prioritize four actions. First, develop a minimum package for kidney health that will strengthen early detection and effective treatment. Second, integrate stronger CKD screening, treatment, and follow-ups into routine diabetes and hypertension services. Third, expand the non-specialist workforce (i.e., task-sharing, standardized protocols, and specialist support). Finally, improve the routine surveillance of CKD burden, access, and outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Kidney health should be treated as an integral component of UHC rather than limited to dialysis coverage. Sustainable progress may require coordinated investments in primary care, workforce capacity, financing, specialist support, and measurable accountability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/00469580261501006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,18]],"date-time":"2026-10-18T13:33:20Z","timestamp":1792330400000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Integrating Kidney Health into Universal Health Coverage Beyond Dialysis: Lessons from Thailand for Southeast Asia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"63","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-0459-6683","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nam T.","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California, San Diego"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mateen","family":"Abbasi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, Rutgers University,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arnav Ajay","family":"Jadav","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Perisa","family":"Ashar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Duke University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emaad","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ketan","family":"Tamirisa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Washington University in St. Louis"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sammer","family":"Marzouk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Faraan","family":"Rahim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Harvard Medical School"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(25)01853-7"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","volume-title":"Reducing the burden of noncommunicable diseases through promotion of kidney health and strengthening prevention and control of kidney disease.
