Dr. Amit Garg and a multidisciplinary team of clinicians and researchers developed a potential solution with the goal of helping patients navigate barriers and enhance their access to kidney transplant and living kidney donations.
Co-designed by a diverse group of health-care stakeholders, including patients, the solution focused on improving four pivotal components: administrative assistance, education, peer support and progress monitoring.
The intervention, called Enhance Access to Kidney Transplantation and Living Kidney Donation (EnAKT LKD), was tested in a unique province-wide clinical trial, embedded within routine care settings and studied using existing real-world data.
