Comprehensive approach to pediatric kidney diseases in Guatemala
Abstract
The Foundation for Children with Kidney Diseases (FUNDANIER) has been the driving force that has facilitated changes in the Guatemalan health system in order to establish a comprehensive pediatric nephrology program. We previously described the creation and early phases of the FUNDANIER project. This article describes the recent accomplishments of the project with the intention of sharing a model that might be applicable in other developing countries.
