Abstract

Coverage of renal replacement therapies (RRT) in Peruvian Ministry of Health is poor. There is an unequal distribution of TRR in the country, and is possible that up to 50% of the population does not have access to any kind of TRR. A multi-institutional approach to address this problem is necessary as it has been in consistent with the economic improvement of the country.
