A privilege to be involved in National Indigenous Kidney Transplant Taskforce and hear from Kelli Owen and Stephen McDonald at the TSANZ ASM on simple strategies for First Nations #transplant #equity ā€œit’s not research, it’s not even science - it’s what we all have to get on and just doā€ #TSANZ2024

Despite excellent graft and recipient survival, a lower proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children received kidney transplants within 5 yrs of dialysis initiation compared to their non-Indigenous peers: mja.com.au/journal/2024/2… Swasti Chaturvedi Sydney Children's Hospitals Network Flinders University

Inequity of kidney treatment within Australia — only 15 in one hundred Indigenous Australians recieve a transplant. An ongoing impact of colonisation… National Indigenous Kidney Transplant Taskforce created to transform the system #AusPH2024 ⁦⁩ ⁦publichealthaus.bsky.social⁩ ⁦PHAA WA Branch (moving to PHAA-WA.bsky.social)⁩

Amazing work by National Indigenous Kidney Transplant Taskforce and Kelli J Owen!! Did you know that since the NIKTT was established, more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been waitlisted for a transplant, and more people have received a transplant? #KidneyWk American Society of Nephrology Can-SOLVE CKD Network - Le rƩseau Can-SOLVE CKD

NIKTT welcomes the new Australian Dept of Health, Disability and Ageing Strategy. This is a great opportunity to close the gap in kidney transplantation access for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people. Implementation will be key & we're committed to working with partners to bring these priorities to life.

On Australian Dept of Health, Disability and Ageing’s National Strategy release, Ged Kearney said: ā€œWe need to improve health outcomes among First Nations people, and this includes reducing barriers to accessing organ transplantationā€ We couldn’t agree more! #TransplantationEquity health.gov.au/resources/publ…

It was wonderful to sit down with Ged Kearney to talk about the NIKTT's plans for the next 5 years, and what it will take to bring about #TransplantationEquity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
