Abstract

A new chronic patient has emerged, with a burden of symptoms and treatment. Patients with kidney failure (KF) require complex and expensive treatments, and in underresourced contexts, they struggle to obtain quality and timely care, even in countries with universal health coverage. We describe how, in such a setting, social structural factors and control over services placed by the system affect the burden of treatment of patients.
