World Kidney Day 2025

The motion

That the Parliament recognises World Kidney Day on 13 March 2025; understands that chronic kidney disease is one of the most prevalent health conditions affecting people in Scotland, with many who are known to be at risk not being routinely tested and diagnosis often coming too late to prevent kidney failure; acknowledges reports that there are persistent inequalities in diagnosis and outcomes for people in Scotland with chronic kidney disease, including in the Glasgow region, based on their economic backgrounds and ethnicity; welcomes the publication of the Kidney Research UK publication, Chronic Kidney Disease: An Action Plan for Scotland, following its year-long engagement with patients and their advocates, families, clinicians, researchers, NHS leaders and policymakers; notes the recommendations within the plan for improved prevention, diagnosis, treatment and collection and use of data; considers that opportunities to improve kidney care in Scotland have been missed over the last 20 years, and encourages the Scottish Government, its agencies and the NHS in Scotland to work alongside the kidney patient and clinical community to deliver their shared ambitions for better outcomes for the 600,000 people in Scotland reportedly living with chronic kidney disease.
