Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global public health challenge, with its burden increasingly recognized among paediatric populations.1 While considerable focus has been on CKD among adults and youth in urban settings and high-income countries, children and adolescents in indigenous, rural, and remote communities often face significant barriers to healthcare access, including delayed diagnosis and limited availability of quality care. In sub-Saharan Africa, these disparities are particularly pronounced due to underdeveloped healthcare infrastructure, insufficient diagnostic facilities, limited number of sub-specialists, and socioeconomic inequalities, resulting in substantial gaps in health outcomes.
