The ISN has developed this framework in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO)in the context of a non-government organization with official relations with WHO. This framework outlines the requirements and operational considerations for setting up or expanding dialysis programs and is intended as a tool to support the WHO member states in developing sustainable strategies for the treatment of patients with kidney failure. This guidance covers human resource needs, infrastructure requirements, processes (forperitoneal dialysis [PD] and hemodialysis [HD]), quality assurance for dialysis as well as ancillarycare for patients with kidney failure.
