A systematic review on screening initiatives for chronic conditions in Indigenous Peoples
First Nations communities in Manitoba suffer the highest rates of kidney failure requiring dialysis in Canada. Effective therapies do exist to prevent progression to dialysis, but require identification of kidney disease in its early stages. Currently, there is no funded screening program for kidney...
