Thank
you
honorable
speaker
today,
March
9th
2023
is
the
world
Kenny
day.
This
year's
theme
is
Kenny.
Health
for
all
chronic
kidney
disease
is
considered
one
of
the
non-communicable
chronic
diseases
which
are
known
to
be
the
leading
cause
of
death
and
disabilities
worldwide.
In
the
event
of
disruptive
emergencies,
Interruption
to
the
much
needed
established
and
Coordinated
Care
and
treatment
for
chronic
diseases
can
have
a
devastating
effect
for
this
vulnerable
population.
A
When
the
Health
Care
System
further
experiences
challenges,
it
can
further
exponentially
compound
stress
and
delay
for
of
treatment
for
individuals.
British
Columbians
are
experiencing
multiple
emergencies,
with
the
strain
on
our
health
care,
System
to
add
to
address
the
challenges
of
covid-19
and
toxic
drug
crisis.
Extreme
weather
events
are
also
adding
additional
layers
of
difficulties
for
individuals
who
are
who
need
regular
treatment,
can
care
for
non-communicable
disease
diseases,
while
the
world's
actively
engaged
only
four
major
non-communicatable
diseases,
cardiovascular,
cancer,
diabetes
and
respiratory.
It
is
estimated
55
of
a
global
non-communicable
diseases.
A
Burden
is
attributed
to
diseases
outside
of
this
group,
such
as
kidney
disease.
Worldwide,
850
million
people
are
affected
by
the
chronic
kidney
disease
as
we
prepare
people
and
communities
for
further
challenges.
Our
work
must
also
include
supporting
people
with
non-communicable
diseases
such
as
kidney
disease
prevention,
early
detection,
adaptive
management
strategies
are
key.
We
must
also
continue
to
work
towards
an
equitable
access
for
careful
people.
Educating
the
public
on
aquatic
disease,
awareness
prevention,
early
science
and
emergency
preparedness
can
also
eliminate
stigma
and
help
save
lives
and
remember
we
can
care
for
our
kidney
as
well.
